1968 Map of Dougherty

About this map

The Quanah Acme and Pacific rail line cuts a straight path across the High Plains of West Texas in this late-1960s survey, anchoring the small settlement of Dougherty. This area, situated along the Floyd Co Motley Co line, reveals a landscape defined by agricultural utility and early aviation. Local transit and commerce are represented by features like the Lloyd Airfield, Norman Airfield, and a central Substa near the tracks. To the east, the terrain breaks into the more complex drainage of the Rolling Plains, where Dutchman Creek and Wolf Creek begin their descent from the caprock. Social and travel markers of the era are also present, including Burleson and the Campbell Roadside Park, providing a window into the rural infrastructure of the Llano Estacado before modern expansion.
