1984 Map of Hurnville

About this map

Hurnville sits at the center of this north Texas landscape, reflecting a rural settlement pattern defined by agricultural land and petroleum extraction during the mid-1980s. The terrain is deeply etched by the winding course of Long Creek, which dominates the central and eastern portions of the map, while Turkey Creek cuts through the southwestern corner. This era in Clay County is marked by a significant Oil Field presence in the northwest, where numerous wells and tanks indicate the industrial activity that sustained the local economy alongside traditional ranching. A small Cem located northeast of the main settlement provides a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the early residents of this community. The map illustrates a network of improved and unimproved roads that connected these isolated homesteads and industrial sites before modern developments altered the rural character of the region.
