1973 Map of Eva NE

About this map

Carthage Oil and Gas Field dominates this High Plains landscape along the border of Kansas and Oklahoma, where the energy economy of the early 1970s is etched into the terrain. The map reveals an intensive network of extractive infrastructure, characterized by dozens of Gas Wells and Oil Wells connected by a complex system of pipelines. A large Gas Processing Plant serves as a central industrial hub for the local collection effort, illustrating the region's mid-century shift toward large-scale resource management. Amidst this modern industrial grid, traces of early settlement and rural life remain visible. The historic Kuhn Cem provides a genealogical touchstone, while Cow Creek provides the primary drainage for the townships of Taloga and Cimarron. The survey also marks the intersection of Morton and Texas counties, capturing a period when industrial development was fully integrated into the expansive agricultural sections of the Panhandle.
