About this map

The petroleum-driven landscape of Hockley County is clearly defined on this 2012 survey, where the town of Sundown serves as the central hub. The local economy is etched into the very grid of the land through an extensive network of specialized thoroughfares such as Drill Stem Rd, Black Gold Rd, and Gusher Rd. These names reflect the region's industrial heritage, as does the presence of Hard Hat Rd and Flowline Rd.

Beyond the primary settlement of Sundown, the map identifies the location of Clauene to the east and the natural terrain of the Sandhills to the northeast. The residential and commercial blocks of Sundown are precisely mapped, showing streets like E Richardson St and Texas Ave. The surrounding rural territory is dominated by long-reaching gravel and paved roads including Prairie Rd and Sagebrush Rd, illustrating the vast, organized spacing of the West Texas plains.
