About this map

The boundary between Lynn and Garza counties runs through this portion of the Texas South Plains, where the flat agricultural tableland begins to drop into the breaks of the Llano Estacado. The settlement of Southland serves as a local hub near the northwestern corner, situated along a prominent transportation corridor that includes a major highway and 7th St. Further south, the community of Pleasant Valley sits near the eastern edge of the map, illustrating the dispersed settlement pattern typical of this ranching and farming region.

Erosion has carved distinct features into the landscape, most notably the drainage systems of N Dokegood Cr and S Dokegood Cr, which flow toward the east. The terrain is further defined by Red Hollow, a significant topographical depression. Genealogists and local historians will find the Resthaven Cem located south of the main Southland townsite, providing a primary point of reference for the families who settled this high plains territory.
