1932 Map of Vivian

About this map

Pease River carves a deep, winding course through this section of North Texas, forming a natural boundary between several counties. Surveyed in the late 1920s, this sheet reveals a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and a sparse settlement pattern characteristic of the rolling plains near Teacup Mountain. While much of the southern portion remained a Preliminary Edition Unsurveyed Area at the time of publication, the northern sections show a network of section lines and rural infrastructure. A single educational hub, the Forestburg Sch, serves as a primary social landmark in the northeast, situated near the headwaters of various seasonal drainages. The convergence of Yampareka Creek and the river valley illustrates the complex topography that early ranchers and surveyors navigated in this part of the state.
