1971 Map of Clear Lake NW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The High Plains of Beaver County, Oklahoma, are defined by an extensive network of natural gas extraction infrastructure in this 1971 survey. The landscape of Elmwood, Benton, and Logan townships is punctuated by dozens of Gas Wells, indicating the region's intensive energy development during the early 1970s. This industrial layer is superimposed over a natural drainage system where Clear Creek and Cottonwood Creek meander through the northwestern portion of the quadrangle, while Duck Pond Creek and Camp Creek carve paths through the eastern sections. Apart from the energy sector, represented by numerous Drill Holes and Pipelines, the map records several Gravel Pits and a solitary Oil Well, illustrating the subterranean economy that drove the development of this Panhandle region. The section lines and fence lines create a rigid grid across the undulating terrain, typical of the rural land management in this part of the state.
