1970 Map of Gate NW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Cimarron River winds across this panhandle landscape, cutting through the terrain just south of the border between Kansas and Oklahoma. This 1970 snapshot shows a region defined by its energy and transport infrastructure, where numerous gas wells are scattered across the plains. In the southern portion of the sheet, the settlement of Knowles sits along the Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad line. Local history is anchored by the Knowles Cem and a prominent Radio Tower nearby. Water sources like Crooked Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Painter Creek create natural drainage patterns toward the Cimarron, while the presence of a Gravel Pit indicates local industrial activity. The map also records the boundary between Meade and Beaver Counties, marking the intersection of state and local jurisdictions in this quiet corner of the plains.
