1972 Map of Canadian West

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Canadian serves as the focal point of this 1970s survey, positioned at the critical junction where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad crosses the Red Deer Creek just south of the Canadian River. The town layout is clearly defined, featuring the Courthouse, High Sch, and Hospital, alongside recreation sites like the Rodeo Ground and a local Park. Outside the residential core, the landscape reflects the intense energy production of the Hemphill County region, marked by a dense network of Oil Wells, Gas Wells, and an extensive Pipeline infrastructure. Notable landmarks such as the County Airport and the Airway Beacon to the south emphasize the area's role as a regional hub. The confluence of drainage systems, including Big Timber Creek and Horse Creek, illustrates the varied terrain that alternates between river bottomlands and high plains.
