1968 Map of Guthrie

About this map

Guthrie serves as the focal point of this King County landscape, shown here at the intersection of State Routes 82 and 83. The settlement's layout includes a Water Tank, an Athletic Field, and a Ch, surrounded by a vast network of water-management features critical to West Texas ranching. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the South Wichita River to the north and North Croton Creek to the south, with the land between marked by numerous named water sources such as Salt Knob Windmill and the Old Wooden Town Windmill. The presence of a Landing Strip and a Pipeline cutting through the brush country reflects the mid-century infrastructure of the region. Local industrial activity is evidenced by a Gravel Pit near the river and an isolated Oil Well in the southeast, illustrating the sparse but deliberate development of this expansive prairie environment.
