The town sits among cotton and grain fields, with State Highway 54 providing north-south access to Plainview and beyond. Most visitors drive from Lubbock in about 25 minutes through open farmland. The town's towering grain elevator serves as a 150-foot landmark visible for miles across the flat prairie.
