1921 Map of Quarry Creek

About this map

Quarry Creek and Valley Creek carve through the landscape of Runnels County in this 1921 survey, which captures the rural character of West Texas before mid-century agricultural shifts. The terrain is defined by a complex network of contours that illustrate the steep breaks and drainages leading toward Los Arroyo. Sparse infrastructure is anchored by local educational landmarks, specifically Barner School in the north and Hagan School to the south. These schoolhouses served as the primary social and geographic hubs for the scattered ranching and farming families in this portion of the Texas interior. The map provides a look at property boundaries and early 20th-century road alignments that often followed the natural topography of the creek valleys.
