2022 Map of Underwood

About this map

Underwood sits within a geometric grid of rural roads and agricultural plots in this portion of the Texas High Plains. The landscape is defined by the rigid North-South orientation of thoroughfares like Hi-Line Rd, Nix Rd, and Sun Rd, which segment the terrain into precise sections. This systematic arrangement reflects the large-scale ranching and farming operations characteristic of Hale County. To the south, the map reaches the outskirts of Abernathy, while the primary transport corridor follows the path of Interstate 27. The area is dotted with numerous small basins and depressions, highlighting the local hydrology and the importance of land management in this semi-arid region. These features, along with farm-to-market roads like Fm 37 and Fm 54, illustrate the infrastructure required to support the local economy during the early 2020s.
