1969 Map of Felt

About this map

Felt stands as the primary settlement on this High Plains landscape during the late 1960s, positioned along the highway corridor of U. S. 56 64. The area is characterized by the broad drainage systems of the North Canadian River and its southern tributaries, including Cieneguilla Creek and Aqua Fria Creek. The map documents the rural infrastructure of the Oklahoma Panhandle, where the terrain is marked by township sections and the notable elevated areas of Wheeless and Gresham. A scatter of wells across the plains indicates the region's reliance on groundwater for agricultural and domestic use. The survey also captures the precise boundary between Cimarron and Dallam counties, where the state line separates Oklahoma and Texas. Local industry is represented by a Gravel Pit located near the southern watercourses, reflecting the small-scale extraction typical of the era's local economy.
