2016 Map of Slaton

About this map

Slaton serves as the primary hub of this High Plains landscape, situated just north of the Lubbock Co and Lynn Co line. The town's layout is deeply influenced by the transit corridors of Bus 84 and Railroad Ave, which reflect the region's historic reliance on rail and highway connectivity for agricultural transport. To the northwest, the small settlement of Posey sits along the same highway corridor, surrounded by a dense grid of county roads such as 114th St and Posey Rd that define the local section-line farming pattern. The topography is relatively level, broken notably in the northeast by the descending contours of Yellow House Canyon. Landmarks like the Slaton Municipal Airport and Englewood Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of this South Plains community.
