2016 Map of Roundup

About this map

Roundup sits at the intersection of rural South Plains life where the borders of Lubbock, Hockley, Lamb, and Hale counties nearly converge. This West Texas landscape is defined by the ephemeral Yellow House Draw, which winds across a terrain structured by a rigid grid of agricultural roads. The presence of the Biggin Hill Airport south of the main settlement suggests the importance of aerial application and private aviation to the local farming economy. Named roads like Tennessee, King, Leon, and Ohio provide a glimpse into the diverse geographic influences on local naming conventions. The infrastructure here reflects a mid-2010s snapshot of a sparsely populated but highly organized territory dedicated to large-scale agriculture, with the network of County Roads and Farm-to-Market routes like FM 2130 and FM 179 serving as the lifeblood of the region.
