1971 Map of Hopkins

About this map

Sandy Hook and the expansive High Plains of the Oklahoma Panhandle define the landscape in this early 1970s study. The region is characterized by a sparse settlement pattern centered around Hopkins, situated along the Beaver Meade and Englewood line. This era was defined by intensive energy extraction across the border of Cimarron and Texas counties, where the Carthage Oil and Gas Field and Willowbar Gas and Oil Field are clearly delineated. These fields are dotted with numerous Gas Wells, Oil Wells, and several Drill Holes, revealing the industrial footprint on the agricultural terrain. The map provides a precise record of the infrastructure supporting this economy, from isolated Wells to a prominent Water Tank near the northern boundary.
