1969 Map of Felt NE

About this map

The high plains of the Oklahoma Panhandle are defined here by the open landscape of Wheeless, an area characterized by scattered ranching operations and water management in the late 1960s. Cold Springs Creek cuts through the northwest corner of the quadrangle, providing a vital natural drainage feature in this arid Cimarron County terrain. The survey reflects a period of systematic resource extraction and land use, marked by numerous Well locations across the township sections. This map captures the region's transition into modern agricultural and water conservation practices, documented through a collaboration between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Oklahoma Water Resources Board.
