1972 Map of Gaylord

About this map

Kiowa Creek and its many tributaries, including Coyote Creek and Bowen Creek, define the rolling topography of this High Plains landscape along the Oklahoma-Texas border. The settlement of Gaylord sits at the center of the sheet, serving as a point along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. This 1970s survey captures a landscape transitioning toward industrial extraction, with an active Oil Field in the northeast and numerous wells and pipelines scattered across the ranch land. Genealogists will find the View Point Cem located in the southern portion of the quadrangle, while geographic landmarks like the Bean Pott Cliff and the small Deeds Res provide specific points of reference for local history researchers and land surveyors of the era.
