1932 Map of Baird
USGS Topo · Published 1932About this map
Baird and the surrounding West Texas cattle and oil country are captured here following a 1931 resurvey, compiled largely from private oil company data. The map reveals a landscape defined by the drainage of Pecan Bayou and the Sabana River, where the Texas Pacific railroad serves as the primary artery connecting settlements like Chatauqua and Putnam. Evidence of the early automotive era appears with State Highway No.1 running parallel to the rail lines, while more remote communities like Belle Plain and Admiral sit amid the mesas and distinct landmarks like West Caddo Butte. This survey provides a clear view of the rural school system, featuring sites like Oak Ridge School, and identifies numerous small agricultural hubs such as Scranton, Nimrod, and Cottonwood before the mid-century consolidation of many small rural post offices.
