1966 Map of Irby

About this map

The rolling ranchlands of Haskell County are defined here by a landscape of drainage creeks and a growing petroleum industry in the mid-1960s. Mattson and Irby serve as the primary focal points for this rural community, situated along the east-west corridor of Highway 266. The map records a significant number of Oil Wells peppered across the terrain, indicating the local economic reliance on energy extraction during this period. For those researching family history, the Roberts Cem and a lonely Grave label near Irby offer precise coordinates for local genealogical study.
