1982 Map of Breckinridge

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Garfield County is defined here by a network of oil and gas fields and the intersection of major rail lines. Breckinridge serves as the primary hub of this rural territory, situated at the junction of the Burlington Northern railroad. Further east, the small community of Cropper sits amidst the gridded fields, typical of the Oklahoma plains in the early 1980s. The terrain is drained by the meanders of Red Rock Creek in the north and Black Bear Creek in the south, which cut through the level topography. Near the southern edge of the survey, the Atchison Topeka and Sante Fe rail corridor passes through, illustrating the historical reliance on these tracks for moving regional energy and agricultural products.
