1931 Map of Archer City

About this map

Geraldine School and the settlement at Dads Corner anchor this early 20th-century landscape in Archer County, surveyed just before the Great Depression. The map illustrates a rural Texas environment defined by the complex branching of the Little Wichita River, including the North Fork, Middle Fk, and S Fk L Wichita River. Several structures labeled Dam are already in place along these waterways, indicating early water management efforts by the Board of Water Engineers.
