1966 Map of Antelope Hills NE

About this map

The Canadian River carves a broad valley through the western Oklahoma plains, defining the boundary between Ellis and Roger Mills counties during the mid-1960s. This survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by natural drainage and emergent energy extraction, with numerous unnamed Gas Well and Oil Well locations scattered across the northern sections. The rugged breaks of the Antelope Hills and the high ground of Little Robe dominate the western horizon, while significant local tributaries like Sand Creek and Cottonwood Creek flow toward the river's sandy channel. Cultural landmarks are sparse, making the Belleview Cem in the northwest a primary point of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in the historic Wilcox and Day townships. The map documents the rural infrastructure of the era, from the winding path of Dugout Creek to the established township lines that organized this part of the Oklahoma panhandle's edge.
