1968 Map of Hardesty

About this map

Hardesty serves as the primary hub in this Oklahoma Panhandle landscape, where the High Plains terrain is deeply incised by a network of seasonal watercourses. The local economy and geography are defined by extensive energy extraction, with numerous Gas Wells dotting the plains near the tracks of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad. The presence of Lake Schultz State Park provides a notable riparian contrast to the surrounding arid draws like Peacher Creek and Hackberry Creek. Along the northern edge, the community infrastructure is marked by the Hartsville Cem and specialized resource sites including a Sandpit and several Caliche Pits. The map also captures the transition at the state line, where Texas Co Hansford Co meets the Oklahoma border near a remote Landing Field.
