1930 Map of Bassett

About this map

Dalby Springs and the surrounding rural communities of Bowie and Cass Counties are mapped here during the transition into the 1930s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Sulphur River and its intricate drainage network, including Blythe Creek and Anderson Creek. Settlement patterns follow the high ground and prairie openings, such as Caughorn Prairie, where numerous country schools and churches supported a dispersed agrarian population. Local infrastructure at this time relied on a mix of old ways and new, from the Stephenson Ferry Bridge crossing the river to the presence of an Oil Well near Noadmore Corners. The map documents the vital rail links of the Texas and Pacific and the St Louis Southwestern railroads, which connected small nodes like Bassett and Darden to the wider region, while early arterial routes like Old Boston Road still traced the older path of Texas travel.
