About this map

Cataline Cem sits on a high point overlooking the winding path of Gageby Creek in this mid-century survey of Hemphill County. The landscape is defined by the drainage network of the Washita River, which snakes across the northern portion of the quadrangle. This era of Texas water management is clearly visible through a series of small impoundments, including Lake Sharon, Lake Cindy, and the central Lake June, each serving as critical water resources in the Panhandle's varying terrain.

Energy and resource extraction are recorded through several industrial markers across the hills, including a Gas Well, Oil Well, and a Gravel Pit. These features, alongside scattered drill holes, reflect the subterranean interests of the late 1960s. For genealogists and local historians, the placement of the cemetery and the network of unimproved roads provide a precise look at the rural footprint before modern developments altered the local character.
