About this map

The growing city of Abilene dominates the northwestern corner of this mid-century landscape, characterized by its concentrated academic and institutional presence. Educational centers like Hardin-Simmons University, Abilene Christian College, and McMurry College define the city's northern and western edges, while the Abilene State Hospital and its associated Abilene State Hospital Cemetery mark the transition toward the rural southeast. The Texas and Pacific railroad and the Veterans World War II Memorial Highway provide the primary east-west corridors, passing through the Elmdale Oil Field and the town of Clyde.
