How to read this map

The Llano Estacado is about 97,000 km² (37,500 sq mi) in area. Its typical elevation is about 1,123 m (3,684 ft).

The dashed outline marks the Llano Estacado as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Lubbock, Amarillo, Abilene, Odessa, Midland, Santa Fe and San Angelo.

Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders, and fine dashed lines show state or province borders.

The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Llano Estacado come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Llano Estacado is, not a surveyed boundary.
