1966 Map of Gilliland

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The South Wichita River meanders across the southern half of this landscape, its complex loops and oxbows defining the local topography. At the center of the northern plains, the small settlement of Gilliland serves as a local hub, marked by a Water Tank and a small Cem cemetery on its eastern edge. The map captures a moment in the mid-1960s when the region's economy relied on ranching and resource extraction, evidenced by the Bennett Ranch to the southeast and multiple Gravel Pits concentrated along the breaks of the river valley. The infrastructure of the era is clearly visible, with a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northern reaches of Knox County, while several fords simply labeled Ford indicate where local travelers still crossed the river's winding course before more modern crossings were established.
