1966 Map of Irby

About this map

Irby and Mattson anchor this mid-1960s survey of the Haskell County landscape, where the agricultural plains are deeply etched by the winding drainages of Red Creek and Paint Creek. The map reveals a transitional economy where traditional farming meets energy extraction, evidenced by scattered Oil Wells and a lonely Landing Strip south of the main road. Genealogists will find particular value in the placement of the Roberts Cem and a solitary Grave located just east of the Irby settlement. This terrain is defined by its watercourses, including North Paint Creek and Horse Creek, which dictate the local topography and the placement of the small Roadside Park along State Route 24.
