1971 Map of Hester

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Salt Fork Red River meanders through this Southwestern Oklahoma landscape, defining the boundary between the Mangum and Tilley townships. In the early 1970s, this region was characterized by its agricultural infrastructure, most notably the extensive irrigation network represented by the West Canal and numerous siphons feeding the surrounding fields. The small community of Hester serves as a central point, anchored by the Hester Cem and the Sandy Land Research Station. Transport and utility routes are clearly marked, including the Missouri - Kansas - Texas railroad line and a local sewage disposal site near the edge of Mangum. This survey also documents fine details of the rural landscape, such as the Borders Lake and Roadside Park, providing a clear view of the intersection between the natural river course and human-engineered water management.
