1968 Map of Mac Bain

About this map

The Quanah Acme and Pacific railroad cuts a definitive line across the southern landscape of this West Texas territory, anchoring the small settlement of Mac Bain. This 1960s-era survey reveals a terrain defined by complex drainage systems, where Dutchman Creek and Shinnery Draw carve through the high plains. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a Radio Tower suggests a mid-century infrastructure supporting local industry and communication alongside the older ranching or agricultural patterns of Carter.
