1973 Map of Eva SE

About this map

Goff Creek meanders through the northern portion of this Texas County landscape, cutting through the high plains terrain of Carthage and Turney. The map reveals an area defined by the mid-century energy economy, dotted with numerous gas wells across nearly every section. A notable human imprint on the land is the Old Railroad Grade that runs east-to-west across the central plains, marking a previous era of transportation that once connected this remote panhandle region. The small settlement of Muncy (Tracy) sits in the northeast, providing a rare point of concentrated habitation in an otherwise industrial and agricultural expanse. Other scattered landmarks, such as a Caliche Pit and a Radio Tower, further illustrate the utilitarian use of the Oklahoma panhandle during the early 1970s.
