About this map

Rainy Mountain Indian Treaty Boundary slices across the northern reaches of this landscape, marking a significant historical line in Kiowa and Washita counties. The terrain is defined by a dense industrial network of an active Oil Field, with numerous Oil Wells, Gas Wells, and Injection Wells scattered across the plains and around Tanny Hill. This mid-1980s landscape shows the transition from earlier rail-based commerce to a petroleum-driven economy, evidenced by the Old Railroad Grade that once connected the local hubs.

The town of Gotebo serves as the primary population center on the eastern edge of the map, while Komalty appears to the west. Genealogists and local historians can find the Wyatt Cem tucked into the southern section, a quiet landmark amidst the expansive energy infrastructure. The map also documents municipal footprints such as the Sewage Disposal Ponds, providing a clear record of local utility development during this era.
