1970 Map of Harmon SW

About this map

Subterranean mineral wealth defines this portion of Ellis County, where the industrial presence of the Benton Gas and Oil Field and the Day Gas Field dominates the landscape. Photogrammetric methods from 1968 aerial photography reveal a region marked by energy production, with numerous oil wells and pipelines networked across the terrain. Surface water is represented by drainage patterns of the Hackberry Creek and West Hackberry Creek systems, which feed into local impoundments such as Carlton Lake and Little Cottonwood Lake. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure of the early 1970s Oklahoma energy sector, showing how resource extraction integrated with the rural sections of the southern High Plains.
