About this map

The settlement of Harriet serves as a central point in this Tom Green County landscape, where agricultural land meets industrial testing facilities. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling automotive tracks of the Goodyear Proving Grounds, illustrating the intersection of West Texas geography and industrial utility. Rural life is anchored by several historic landmarks, including the Harriet School and Harriet Cem, which preserve the local heritage of this ranching and farming community.

Water plays a critical role in defining the terrain, with the Concho River flowing across the southern edge and the Erwin Jordan Reservoir providing a significant local water feature. Multiple tributaries such as Valentine Br and Tenmile Cr dissect the plains, while Rattle Snake Hill provides a distinct topographic rise. To the northeast, the smaller community of Kiesling and its associated Kiesling School highlight the distributed nature of early Texas rural education and settlement.
