2022 Map of West of Sundown

About this map

Sulphur Draw and Lost Draw wind through this corner of the South Plains, marking the natural drainage patterns in an otherwise heavily managed agricultural and industrial landscape. The western edge of Sundown sits at the periphery of the map, while the surrounding area is defined by a dense grid of section roads and oil-field infrastructure. The nomenclature of the local road network—including Wildcat Rd, Roughneck Rd, and Polish Rod—points to the deep-rooted influence of the petroleum industry on the development of Hockley County. These labels reflect the functional heritage of the land as part of the Permian Basin's energy production history. The map also delineates the convergence of several county lines, where Cochran, Hockley, Yoakum, and Terry counties meet in a rare four-corner intersection of political boundaries.
