About this map

Dads Corner sits at the northern edge of this North Texas cattle and oil country, marking a landscape of wide draws and rising bluffs just before the Great Depression. This preliminary edition, surveyed in 1929 by J. A. Shumate and S. S. Evans, reveals a transition in Archer County topography where the Little Wichita River and its Middle Fk Little Wichita River begin their winding course through the eastern plains.

While much of the southern quadrangle remained a designated unsurveyed area at the time of publication, the northern sections provide a clear look at local social centers like the Geraldine School. The drainage patterns of Panther Creek show the natural hydrology of the region prior to mid-century water management projects, offering a view of the terrain as it was navigated by early ranching families and oil wildcatters.
