1985 Map of Roundup

About this map

Roundup sits at the intersection of significant agricultural and political boundaries on the Texas High Plains. This 1985 survey captures the landscape during a period of established irrigation and ranching, dominated by the winding path of Yellow House Draw. The map is particularly notable for its depiction of a unique four-county junction, where the borders of Lamb, Hale, Hockley, and Lubbock counties converge. This convergence creates a distinct pattern of property lines and survey blocks that define the region's development. Local researchers can examine the density of wells and the placement of transportation routes that connect this rural hub to the surrounding cattle and cotton country of West Texas.
