2012 Map of Underwood

About this map

Underwood and the smaller settlement of Alley anchor this portion of the Texas Panhandle, where the landscape is defined by the rigid geometry of the High Plains grid system. The North-South corridor of Interstate 27 bisects the region, accompanied by its dedicated I 27 Service Rd, facilitating transport between the agricultural hubs of Hale County. Evidence of the region's energy economy is visible in the southeast, where the Lutrick Oil Field operates. The map reveals a highly structured environment where rural life is organized around an extensive network of county roads, such as Sun Rd and Co Road S, which intersect with state-maintained routes like FM-54 and Ranch Road 37. This layout reflects the modern evolution of the Llano Estacado's ranching and drilling industries.
