1969 Map of Felt SW

About this map

North Canadian River meanders across the high plains of the Oklahoma Panhandle, defining the northern landscape of this remote corner where three states converge. In the late 1960s, this area of Cimarron County was characterized by sparse, wind-swept terrain partitioned into large sections, such as those within Wheeless and Gresham. The map documents a rugged landscape of intermittent drainage, with Cienequilla Creek and Aqua Fria Creek cutting through the topography toward the river. Human presence is evidenced by isolated wells and a Gravel Pit, reflecting the area's resource-based economy. The intersection of major political boundaries is a key feature, as the survey includes the convergence of the New Mexico-Oklahoma and Oklahoma-Texas state lines, alongside the junction of Union and Dallam counties.
