About this map

The Cimarron River winds through this Panhandle landscape, shaping a terrain defined by broad river bends and the prominent ridge known as Devils Backbone. Surveyed in 1969, the map reveals an economy pivoting between traditional agriculture and growing energy extraction, evidenced by the numerous Gas Wells and both buried and aboveground pipelines crossing the townships of Garland and Gate. Water management remains a visible priority for the arid region, showcased by the Old Settlers Irrigation Ditch running parallel to the river. Local landmarks like Gate Cem and various resource sites, including a Caliche Pit and Sandpit, offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of Beaver County during the late twentieth century.
