1969 Map of Glass Mountains

About this map

Glass Mountains dominate the landscape in this northwestern Oklahoma region, defined by a series of prominent mesas and escarpments that rise above the surrounding plains. The terrain is deeply carved by a network of drainage systems, including Cheyenne Creek and Cottonwood Creek, which flow through the rugged topography towards the south and east. During this era of the late 1960s, the map records the intersection of geological exploration and rural life, noted by several Drill Holes and gas wells scattered across the prairie.
