1984 Map of Quanah East

About this map

The railroad town of Quanah serves as the focal point of this Hardeman County landscape, where the Burlington Northern line cuts through the prairie toward the Oklahoma Texas border. Industrial development is evident throughout the terrain, from the Conley Oil Field and numerous Oil Wells to the Power Plant situated along the shores of Lake Pauline. Local civic life is represented by the High Sch, Memorial Park (Cem), and a local Golf Course. To the north, the winding path of Groesbeck Creek and Spring Creek leads toward the Red River valley, marking the transition from town lots to the wider ranching and oil-producing territory. This survey documents a mid-1980s period of intersection between the established town grid and the active energy and agricultural sectors of North Texas.
