2019 Map of Shallowater

About this map

Shallowater and the outlying community of Broadview anchor this High Plains landscape, where the traditional agricultural grid meets the northwestern expansion of Lubbock. The map reveals a transition from rural sections to the emerging suburban fringes of the city, characterized by the diagonal path of Clovis Rd (U.S. Highway 84). The terrain is subtly marked by the ephemeral hydrology of the Southern High Plains, with the northern reaches containing Blackwater Draw and the southern portion featuring Yellow House Draw. These natural depressions contrast with the rigid layout of farm-to-market roads like FM 1729 and FM 1294, illustrating how the region's transport network was engineered across the flat Llano Estacado. Local researchers will find the municipal core of Shallowater clearly defined, complete with its Post Office and a dense residential grid of streets such as Drew St and numbered avenues.
