About this map

The Beaver River winds through this Panhandle landscape, illustrating the industrial and agricultural character of the early 1970s. The region is defined by extensive energy development, with numerous gas wells and pipelines dotting the terrain between Guymon and Goodwell. The influence of the transportation and aviation sectors is evident along the eastern margin, where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad tracks parallel the Guymon Corporate Boundary and the Guymon Municipal Airport.

Resource extraction is further highlighted by the presence of several Caliche Pits and a Sandpit near the riverbanks. Local land use is diverse, ranging from a large Feed Lot to recreation at the local Golf Course. Water features such as Little Goff Creek and the ephemeral Dry Sand Draw provide further detail for researchers interested in the natural hydrology of Texas County before modern expansion.
