2016 Map of Spade

About this map

Spade sits at the intersection of several key rural routes in this high plains landscape of Lamb County. The settlement is positioned along Fm 168 and Fm 54, surrounded by a regular grid of section roads that define the region's agricultural layout. The most significant natural feature is Blackwater Draw, which cuts across the northern portion of the map, providing a glimpse of the drainage patterns essential to the Llano Estacado. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern configuration of the local transportation network, including secondary routes like Fm 1072 and Fm 2197. The map's detail is particularly useful for understanding the precise placement of rural properties and county roads such as Co Rd 242 and Co Rd 287 relative to the natural topography of the draw.
