1982 Map of Ames
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Ames serves as the central hub of this northern Oklahoma landscape, where the Burlington Northern railroad corridor meets the expansive Cimarron Oil and Gas Field. The map records a complex overlay of historical and industrial markers, most notably the Major Co Old Indian Treaty Boundary that cuts horizontally across the southern sections. This line separates the older territorial divisions from the river valley below. To the southwest, the Cimarron River winds through the Cimarron Forest, joined by drainage from Hoyle Creek and Deep Creek. This 1982 survey captures the region as a working landscape, balancing petroleum extraction with small-town infrastructure like the local Landing Strip and Radio Tower. Recreation and water management are visible at Crystal Lakes and the nearby Silver Lake, providing a detailed look at the local topography before modern developments.
