1932 Map of Dundee

About this map

The confluence of the Little Wichita River and its North Fork defines this 1932 preliminary study of Archer County, Texas. This map provides a look at the landscape just before large-scale water management projects altered the regional drainage. The rural character of the area is highlighted by the Black Flat Sch, a local school serving the farming families of the high ground between the river and Holliday Creek. While the southeastern portion is densely mapped with contour lines and drainage patterns like Kickapoo Creek, the western half remains a Preliminary Edition Unsurveyed Area, reflecting the ongoing work of the State of Texas Board of Water Engineers during the early 1930s. The primary artery connecting the region is the Archer City Dundee Road, which cuts across the prairie to link the local ranching and agricultural interests.
