Lubbock

Lubbock is on a branch of the Brazos River of the Llano Estacado region in northwestern Texas.

A prairie-dog town is preserved in the nearby Mackenzie State Park. Lubbock Lake Landmark State Historical Park is an archaeological and natural history preserve. Texas Tech University, Lubbock Christian College and the Texas Air Museum are in the city.
