About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line across this 1964 landscape, anchoring the community of Klondike and connecting it to smaller rail-side settlements like Horton. This survey captures a rural Texas transition where traditional farming communities such as Yowell, Gough, and Needmore were defined by local landmarks like Wintermute Mem Hosp and the Roadside Park near Pecan Creek.

The river system here is intricate, featuring the confluence of the Middle Sulphur River and the South Sulphur River along the Delta and Hopkins County line. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community sites, from the Shiloh Cem and Shiloh Ch to the Lebanon Cem in the southwest corner. The map also meticulously records the boundaries where Hunt and Delta Counties meet, showing the dense network of property-defining fence lines that crisscross the forks of Barnett Creek and Jernigan Creek.
