The West Texas town of Sundown is the focal point of this South Plains survey, situated along the Hockley Co and Terry Co line. The local landscape is deeply intertwined with the oil industry, as evidenced by specialized road names including Gusher Rd, Drill Stem, Drill, and Black Gold Rd. These thoroughfares network across a high-plains terrain marked by depressions and the winding path of Lost Draw. Near the settlement of Clauene and the northern reaches of the Sandhills, the map traces the grid-like organization of the rural landscape through a vocabulary of the frontier and petroleum industry alike, featuring routes like Stampede, Rawhide, and Hard Hat Rd. Genealogists will find the Sundown Cem clearly marked just north of the central town streets.
