2010 Map of Spade

About this map

Spade sits at the intersection of FM 168 and FM 54, serving as the primary hub for this agricultural landscape in Lamb County. The terrain is defined by a rigorous grid of county roads, including Co RD 277 and Co RD 312, which partition the West Texas plains into regular parcels. Numerous small, seasonal water bodies or depressions are scattered throughout the landscape, indicating the natural drainage patterns of the Llano Estacado. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows the area's transition into the early 21st century, where the rural infrastructure remains centered on farm-to-market routes like FM 1072 and FM 2197. The map provides a detailed view of the local transportation network that has supported the region's farming economy for generations.
