1979 Map of Quinlan

About this map

Quinlan serves as the primary hub in this portion of Hunt County, situated north of the meandering South Fork Sabine River. The landscape is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Bearpen Creek, Sandy Creek, and Jones Creek, which carve through the agricultural terrain. A significant historical marker is the Old Railroad Grade running through the eastern sector, indicating the path of former commerce that once bypassed Williams Chapel and the small settlement at Union Valley. This late-1970s survey preserves the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Paynetown Cem, Hail Cem, and Hodges Cem, providing essential data for genealogists tracing the rural population centers like the Stringtown Community Center.
