1970 Map of Arnett

About this map

The town of Arnett serves as the hub of this Ellis County landscape, situated where the high plains terrain is carved by the drainages of Little Wolf Creek, Willow Creek, and Red Bluff Creek. A significant historical line, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, cuts across the center of the map, separating the townships of Ohio and Sheldon from Hopewell and Benton. This boundary reflects the complex territorial history of western Oklahoma, marking former land divisions that persisted into the late twentieth century. Local genealogy is anchored by the Seventh-Day Adventist Cem and Debolt Cem, while the industrial character of the area is noted through scattered excavations like the Caliche Pit and a Quarry Old. Modern infrastructure, including the Arnett Airport and a dedicated Sewage Disposal site, highlights the mid-century development of this rural community.
