2016 Map of Slaton NE

About this map

Yellow House Canyon and the N Fork Double Mountain Fork Brazos River cut a deep, winding path through the Llano Estacado on this West Texas landscape. The city of Slaton sits on the western edge of the quadrangle, where the flat agricultural plains abruptly meet the break in the caprock. This transition from high plains to canyon country is defined by numerous drainage features including Long Hollow Canyon, Turkey Draw, and Spring Cr. The map captures the meeting point of four counties — Lubbock, Crosby, Lynn, and Garza — highlighting how these political boundaries intersect with the natural topography of the Brazos River's upper reaches. Transportation is dominated by a grid of county roads and routes like Ranch Rd 2150, which navigate the increasingly complex terrain as it descends into the canyon systems.
