2012 Map of Sterley

About this map

Lockney anchors the southern edge of this West Texas landscape, where the flat terrain of the High Plains is etched by a rigid grid of agricultural roads and irrigation features. The settlement of Sterley sits at a junction in the northeast, connected by the straight transit of FM-378 as it bisects the cotton and grain fields of Floyd County. The map captures a quintessential Llano Estacado environment, dotted with numerous small, seasonally dry playa lakes that characterize the local hydrology. This 2012 survey documents the persistent rural infrastructure of the region, including the Outback Airport, which serves the specialized aerial needs of this intensive farming community.
