1970 Map of Knowles
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Knowles sits as the primary settlement in this section of the Oklahoma Panhandle, situated along the Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad line. The landscape is defined by the broad path of the Beaver River, which winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Mexico Creek and Kidds Creek. This 1970 survey reveals an economy deeply tied to energy extraction, with a dense network of Gas Wells, Oil Wells, and a central Pumping Station indicating the maturity of the local gas and oil fields during this era. Surveyed just before the decade's end, the map also captures smaller industrial details like Gravel Pits and a Drill Hole, reflecting the physical modification of the High Plains terrain for resource transport and infrastructure development.
