2010 Map of Slaton NE

About this map

North Fork Double Mountain Fork Brazos River carves a significant course across this landscape northeast of Slaton, defining the local geography through the dramatic Yellow House Canyon. This 2010 survey reveals a rural Texas environment where the erratic paths of natural drainage features like Spring Creek and Harvey Creek contrast with the rigid, square grid of agricultural section roads. The map illustrates a region dominated by ranching and large-scale land management, as evidenced by named properties such as Forest Ranch, Wood Ranch, and V Ranch. Transportation in this part of Lubbock County relies on a network of designated county roads and arterial routes like Ranch Rd 2150, which facilitate movement between the canyons and the flatter high plains. Local-history researchers will find interest in the specific placement of these homesteads relative to the Long Hollow and other natural landmarks.
