1985 Map of Memphis NW

About this map

Lakeview occupies the central prairie of the Texas Panhandle in this mid-1980s provisional survey, showing a clustered grid of streets surrounded by expansive rangeland. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Red River basin, where Oaks Creek and Spring Creek carve winding paths through the terrain. Evidence of rural life and mortality is marked by the Cem just west of the town center, a key site for genealogical research in this part of Hall County. The presence of numerous Well and Wells labels across the quadrangle indicates the critical importance of groundwater management for the local ranching and agricultural economy. Straddling the boundary between Donley Co and Hall Co, the map documents a sparse but vital network of improved roads connecting isolated homesteads and water sources.
