1973 Map of Goodwell SE

About this map

The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal path through the high plains of the Oklahoma panhandle, anchoring the small settlement of Goodwell. Just outside the town limits, the Panhandle State College Farm reflects the region's agricultural research focus. The landscape is defined by a dense network of gas wells and the meandering path of the North Fork Frisco Creek, which carves subtle relief into the terrain as it flows toward the Frisco Cem. The prevalence of Caliche Pits and Gravel Pits across the landscape points to the localized extraction of road-building materials necessary for maintaining the grid of section lines in this expansive energy-producing district.
