About this map

The Oklahoma-Texas border bisects this High Plains landscape, where the agricultural and industrial character of Hansford County is clearly defined. The settlement at Hansford Camp sits alongside Hitchland, serving as a focal point for the extensive energy infrastructure of the Hitchland Gas and Oil Field. This survey captures a moment when the region's economy was deeply tied to these resources, evidenced by the numerous pipelines and wells spidering across the terrain north of the Spearman North Gas and Oil Field.

Natural features like Hackberry Creek and Palo Duro Creek carve into the flat plains, leading toward landmarks such as Lightning Point and Mount Helland. For local historians, the New Hope Cem and the small settlement of Hackberry provide essential genealogical touchpoints. A Quarry near Hackberry Creek further illustrates the local extraction industries that shaped the physical and economic development of this borderland during the mid-20th century.
