About this map

Frisco Creek and Coldwater Creek carve deep, branching draws into the High Plains of the Texas Panhandle, defining a landscape where the natural hydrology and modern industry meet. This mid-1970s survey reveals the extensive energy infrastructure of the Anadarko Basin, marked by dozens of Gas Wells and complex pipeline networks that crisscross the terrain near the border of the Oklahoma-Texas line.

Social life in this rural expanse is anchored by the Olso Church and an adjacent Cem, providing critical landmarks for genealogists researching families from the Hansford County area. Small settlement points like Graham and Doyle appear alongside evidence of local industrial activity, such as a prominent Gravel Pit. The map captures a moment when traditional ranching landscapes were increasingly shared with the infrastructure of the burgeoning natural gas industry.
