About this map

Harrold serves as the central hub of this Wilbarger County landscape, appearing here as it was documented in the early 1980s. The settlement's layout is defined by the intersection of the regional road network and the railroad, with a local Cem situated just outside the residential center. The surrounding terrain is heavily influenced by the energy industry, as evidenced by the extensive Oil Field operations that dot the plains between seasonal watercourses.

Hydrology plays a significant role in the local geography, with drainage provided by Rock Creek and China Creek in the north, while Camp Creek and Bull Creek flow toward the southern boundary. The presence of Lake Electra in the southeast corner provides a permanent water body in an area otherwise characterized by intermittent creek beds and industrial extraction sites. This survey captures the transition of the Texas Panhandle prairie into a productive landscape of petroleum production and rural habitation.
