1971 Map of Keyes East

About this map

The Oklahoma Panhandle's energy and industrial landscape is recorded here in the early 1970s, dominated by the Keyes community and the nearby Keyes Helium Plant. The town serves as a hub for the region's resource extraction, situated at the junction of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and local highways. The surrounding terrain of Sandy Hook and Willowbar is marked by a dense network of Gas Wells and Oil Wells, particularly evident in the Oil Field to the southeast. Infrastructure supporting this industry includes an extensive Pipeline system and specialized facilities like the Sewage Disposal Pond. Beyond the industrial activity, the map identifies small markers of settlement like Burton and natural features such as Goff Creek, which cuts across the high plains landscape.
