1968 Map of Mac Bain

About this map

Quanah Acme And Pacific tracks run through the southern portion of this West Texas landscape, serving the small settlement of Mac Bain. The terrain is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainages and springs, including the prominent Dutchman Creek and its namesake settlement, Dutchman. Numerous named water features like Wason Spring and Dropping Springs suggest the critical importance of water sources in this arid region of Motley County during the late 1960s. The survey also captures the local infrastructure of the era, from a Radio Tower to several Gravel Pits, alongside extensive draws such as Shinnery Draw and Carter Draw that carve through the plains.
