1972 Map of Charlie

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Charlie serves as the primary settlement on this Clay County landscape, where the meandering course of the Wichita River dictates the local topography. This early 1970s survey illustrates a rural economy deeply tied to both natural resources and energy extraction, characterized by numerous oil wells and extensive pipelines that crisscross the terrain. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the elevated Pumpkin Ridge, while the river lowlands feature complex oxbows and marshy areas near Byers Lake. Genealogical researchers can locate a local Cem near the town center, while infrastructure markers like a WT (water tower), Water Tank, and a Gaging Sta along the river reflect the technical management of this arid ranching and oil-producing region. To the east, the Petrolia Reservoirs and the drainage of Hay Creek provide critical water management for the surrounding oil field operations.
