2016 Map of Quinlan

About this map

Quinlan serves as the primary hub in this portion of the Texas-Hunt County line area, situated at the junction of several regional routes and the southern reach of the Caddo Cr drainage. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the S Fork Sabine River and numerous small tributaries such as Bearpen Cr and Jones Cr. This survey documents a rural environment where family and community heritage is preserved through dispersed sites like Graham Point and Union Valley. Local genealogy is anchored by several distinct burial grounds, including Graham Point Cem and Paynetown Cem. The presence of several managed water bodies, such as Dry Creek Ranch Lake Number 1 and Ivy Lake, reflects the intersection of agricultural land use and water management in the Blackland Prairie region during the mid-2010s.
