1967 Map of Gem

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Gem sits at the heart of this Panhandle landscape, where the braided channels of the Canadian River dominate the northern terrain. The river is flanked by Sand Dunes and the Timber Lakes, creating a distinct topographical boundary between the water-cut lowlands and the higher plains to the south. This 1960s survey documents a rural environment defined by sparse settlement and functional land use, evidenced by the Henderson Landing Strip and a local Gravel Pit. Near Rattlesnake Hill, the map records essential local history markers like the Prairie Dell Cem. Significant infrastructure for water management is visible through specialized engineering notations such as Spillway Elev 2317, reflecting the region's reliance on managed water sources like Spring Creek and Big Lake during the mid-20th century.
