About this map

McKnight stands as a small hub in Harmon County during the early 1970s, situated near the southwestern border where Oklahoma meets Texas. The landscape is defined by the Salt Fork Red River, which meanders through the northern section of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Bear Creek and Horse Creek. This survey captures the rural character of the region, emphasizing the importance of local community anchors like the McKnight Cem and M Ch.

Economic and recreational activity is evident in the presence of several Gravel Pits scattered across the terrain and the development of Lake Hall, which includes a dedicated Picnic Area. The map provides a high level of detail for genealogists and local historians, specifically noting property-defining features such as the fine red dashed lines indicating fence and field lines that were visible from aerial photography at the time of the survey.
