About this map

The High Plains of the Oklahoma Panhandle meet the Kansas border in this 1970s topographical survey, characterized by a transition from ranching to an intensive energy-extraction landscape. Scattered across the flat terrain are landmarks of local community life, including Bethel Ch and the Midway Cem, which reflect the early settlement patterns of Beaver County. The industrial shift of the mid-20th century is evident in the proliferation of Gas Wells and Oil Wells that now dot the sections once dominated by operations like the L T Ranch. This map documents a period when local infrastructure, such as a prominent Radio Tower, was becoming more visible against the expansive horizon while the historic state line between Kansas and Oklahoma continued to define the administrative character of this rural corridor.
