1966 Map of Antelope Hills

About this map

The Antelope Hills rise prominently in the southeastern corner of this mid-1960s survey, marking a distinct terrain feature in Western Oklahoma near the Texas border. This landscape is defined by the wide, braided path of the Canadian River as it cuts across the quadrangle, with Little Robe Creek winding through the northern sections. Evidence of the region's energy economy is scattered throughout, notably in the Oil Field and numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells that punctuate the plains. For those researching local family history, the Lone Tree Cem provides a specific point of reference in the central portion of the map. The geography is further delineated by the complex meeting of county lines, including Ellis and Roger Mills counties, and the state line where Texas meets Oklahoma.
