2012 Map of Hansford Camp

About this map

Hansford Camp and the industrial infrastructure of the Oklahoma-Texas borderlands define this landscape in the early 21st century. The map illustrates a region where energy extraction and rural life intersect, primarily through the extensive Hitchland Gas and Oil Field and the Spearman North Gas and Oil Field. These sites, marked by complex road networks and industrial clusters, sit alongside traditional landmarks such as the New Hope Cem and high points like Mt Helland and Lightning Point. The drainage patterns of Hackberry Cr and Palo Duro Cr reveal the natural topography of the High Plains, providing a contrast to the geometric precision of the county road system, including Co Road F and Co Road G. This map captures a specific moment in the continuing development of the midcontinent oil and gas industry within a deeply rural setting.
