About this map

Harrold serves as the primary focal point of this North Texas landscape, situated along a prominent transportation corridor where the railroad and highway intersect. The settlement is characterized by a compact grid of streets, a local Cem, and infrastructure that speaks to the agricultural and transit-based economy of Wilbarger County. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dendritic network of waterways, including Rock Creek and Bull Creek, which flow southward through the prairie toward the southern edge of the survey area.

The southeastern corner of the quadrangle contains the northern reaches of Lake Electra, where Camp Creek and China Creek converge. This portion of the map reveals the transition from open grazing or farmland to the more varied topography surrounding the lake. The placement of the Cem near the town center provides a valuable touchstone for genealogists and local historians tracing the early families of this rural Texas community during the late twentieth century.
