1968 Map of Guymon SW

About this map

Frisco Creek and Coldwater Creek carve paths through the high plains of the Oklahoma Panhandle, illustrating a landscape defined by water drainage and industrial expansion during the late 1960s. The map reveals a high density of gas wells scattered across the terrain, connected by a network of underground Pipeline infrastructure. Local economic activity is visible at the Hitch Ranch and several Sandpits, while a small Cem remains a quiet marker of early local heritage. Aviation and communication infrastructure, including Landing Strips and a Radio Tower, serve the surrounding ranching and drilling operations. This survey, conducted in cooperation with the Oklahoma Highway Department, documents the transition from traditional grazing lands to an intensive energy-producing region, right along the border of Texas Co and Hansford Co.
