2010 Map of Forrest

About this map

Forrest and its surrounding ranchlands in Quay County are defined by a strict grid of county roads and the seasonal paths of High Plains drainage systems. The landscape is marked by small settlements and family-named locales such as Lindsey, Kitchens, and Beevers, which reflect the area's history of homesteading and rural community. The terrain is bisected by the winding course of Frio Draw and the southern reaches of Blanco Creek, features that have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and livestock operations in this semi-arid region. Genealogists will find the Beevers Cemetery a significant landmark, situated near the namesake settlement of Beevers. The map illustrates a rural architecture of spaced-out residences connected by an extensive network of Quay Roads, including Quay Road 37 and Quay Road AE, which serve as the primary lifelines between these remote clusters.
