1973 Map of Boyd

About this map

Boyd serves as the central settlement in this portion of the Oklahoma Panhandle, situated along a landscape defined by energy extraction and intermittent watercourses. The 1973 survey highlights a sprawling Oil Field punctuated by numerous Gas Well and Oil Well sites, indicating the intense mid-century industrial footprint in Beaver County. The terrain is drained by Jackson Creek and Willow Creek, while the Beaver River cuts across the northwestern corner, its wide bed suggesting the seasonal fluctuations typical of the region. Local community life is anchored by landmarks such as Anthony Ch and Bethany Cem, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research. A prominent Radio Tower and various Gravel Pits further illustrate the infrastructure supporting this rural economy during the early 1970s.
