1968 Map of Guymon

About this map

Guymon serves as the focal point of this Panhandle landscape, where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line through the plains toward the Beaver River. The settlement pattern of the late 1960s is clearly visible, with civic hubs like City Hall, the Post Office, and a Hospital anchored in the town center. Educational and community institutions are well-distributed, including Long School, Academy School, and Carrier School, alongside local recreation spots like the Golf Course and Drive-in Theater. Beyond the urban boundary, the geography is defined by water management and natural drainage, from the Sewage Disposal Ponds to the meandering Goff Creek and Little Goff Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of Elmhurst Cemetery and Carter Cemetery, while the presence of a Landing Strip, Feed Lot, and numerous gas wells reflects the region's agricultural and energy-driven economy.
