1967 Map of Folley

About this map

Quitaque Creek carves a complex, deeply eroded course across this landscape where the borders of Motley, Briscoe, and Hall counties converge. The settlement of Folley sits atop the plateau just north of these breaks, serving as a focal point for a region defined by cattle ranching and scattered agricultural infrastructure. This 1960s-era survey, updated in the early 1980s, reveals a period of transition in local recreation and transportation, evidenced by the presence of a Drive-in Theater and the Turkey Airfield near the northern boundary. The terrain transitions from the open stretches of Wolf Flat to the winding drainage of Kent Creek, with numerous wells and gravel pits indicating the importance of water management and local resource extraction in this corner of the Texas Panhandle.
