1927 Map of Quanah 3-b

About this map

The Pease River meanders through a landscape of intricate topographic relief in this 1927 survey, which captures the meeting point of three North Texas counties. This advance sheet, compiled in part from aerial photographs taken by the Air Corps, provides a detailed look at the drainage patterns and terrain before significant modern development altered the region. The map meticulously documents the political boundaries where Cottle and Hardeman counties meet, and where both join Foard County to the south. This transition zone is characterized by the complex erosion patterns along the river valley, offering a precise record of the natural geography and land divisions during the late 1920s.
