1968 Map of Roaring Springs

About this map

Roaring Springs is depicted in this 1968 study as a focal point of the Rolling Plains, where the Quanah Acme and Pacific railroad intersects the rugged drainage systems of the Caprock escarpment. The landscape is defined by its vital water sources, including Hackberry Spring, Ballard Spring, and the namesake Roaring Springs pool, which supported early cattle ranching and settlement. The transition from agrarian roots to mid-century modernization is evident through features like the Drive-in Theater north of town and Buzz Landing Field.
