1967 Map of Lora

About this map

Red Deer Creek and the Washita River dominate the landscape in this section of the Texas Panhandle, where the terrain transitions from eroded creek breaks to the high plains. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line parallels the creek, serving the small settlement of Lora, while a Roadside Park provides a rest stop for travelers along the nearby highway. Genealogy researchers can locate the Miami Cem in the western portion of the map, situated near the rolling hills that separate the water drainages. The map also delineates the Roberts Co Hemphill Co boundary and highlights the significance of water in this semi-arid region through labels for the Mather Well and various other wells and tanks. Industrial presence is noted by a prominent Pipeline and several gravel pits, reflecting the local infrastructure of the late 1960s.
