1972 Map of Hollow

About this map

Big Creek and its many tributaries, including Boggs Branch and East Fork Big Creek, carve a detailed drainage network across this borderland between Oklahoma and Kansas. The terrain is dotted with markers of early 1970s rural life, from the scattered homes of Hollow to the Ideal Sch and Bethel Ch located further north. This area reflects a quiet agricultural and industrial transition, where traditional homesteads and a local Cem exist alongside evidence of resource exploration like a prominent Oil Well and Drill Hole. The southern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of Clear Creek, which leads toward a Gaging Station near the settlement of Hollow, highlighting the importance of water management in this prairie landscape. The proximity to the state line and the intersection of Labette and Craig Counties underscores the map's value for tracing local property and political boundaries in the 1970s.
