1973 Map of Balko SW

About this map

Beaver South Oil Field dominates this High Plains landscape in the early 1970s, illustrating the extensive petroleum and natural gas infrastructure across the Oklahoma Panhandle. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of North Fork Clear Creek and South Fork Clear Creek, which converge as they flow toward the northeast. Amidst the numerous Oil Well and Gas Well symbols, the map preserves evidence of local community life at Balko Sch and the Blue Mound Cem located near the Blue Mound landform. The section lines are densely marked with specialized industrial features including several Caliche Pit locations, used for local road and well-pad surfacing. This survey provides a precise look at the rural section-line road network and the survey boundary between Beaver Co and Ochiltree County at the Texas state line.
