1917 Map of Beaver Creek

About this map

Beaver Creek and its many tributaries, including Short Creek and Long Creek, define this North Texas landscape during the years of World War I. The topography reveals a terrain of eroded draws and elevations like Potato Hill, where small rural institutions provided the foundation for local community life. Community anchors such as Marvin Chapel and Beaver Creek School are clearly marked, alongside Ronda School to the northwest, illustrating the distribution of early twentieth-century education and worship across the ranching and farming country near the Wilbarger Co Wichita Co line.
