2016 Map of Shallowater

About this map

Shallowater and the northern outskirts of Lubbock anchor this 2016 survey of the South Plains. The landscape is defined by the subtle, intermittent drainages of Blackwater Draw and Yellow House Draw, which cut through a grid of rural roads and expanding residential developments. The transition from agricultural land to urban suburbanization is evident in the dense street network of Shallowater, including 12th St and Drew St, contrasted with the sparse layout of Broadview. Major transit corridors like Frankford Ave, Quaker Ave, and Milwaukee Ave illustrate the modern connectivity between these communities and the regional hub to the south. Small depressions and playa lakes characteristic of the Llano Estacado dot the terrain, often occurring near intersections like Fm 1729 and N C R 1700.
