1973 Map of Hackberry Creek

About this map

Salt Fork Arkansas River winds through the southern portion of this landscape, marking a significant hydrological feature just north of the Kansas Oklahoma state line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of energy extraction infrastructure, with numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells scattered across the Gas Field in the townships of Aetna and Elwood. This 1970s survey captures a rural industrial environment where a long-distance Pipeline traverses the hills near the settlement of Eldred. A notable historical marker on the land is the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts across the central section of the map, providing a glimpse into the earlier political and territorial organization of Barber County. The drainage patterns of Big Sandy Creek, Hackberry Creek, and Driftwood Creek reveal the deeply etched topography typical of this prairie border region.
