1968 Map of Deer Creek

About this map

Energy production and agriculture define this portion of Grant County, where the Numa Oil Field and Deer Creek Oil Field overlap with established township boundaries like Fairview and Dirigo. The landscape is primarily shaped by a network of waterways including Deer Creek and Antelope Creek, which provided natural drainage for the surrounding farms and settlements. The town of Deer Creek serves as a local hub, situated at the junction of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, a vital corridor for moving regional goods and grain.
