1973 Map of Lake Fryer NE

About this map

The high plains of the Texas Panhandle are defined here by the winding course of Wolf Creek, which carves a distinct valley through the northern Ochiltree County landscape. Surveyed in the early 1970s, this area shows a transition from open cattle range to an active energy extraction zone. Numerous Gas Well and Oil Well sites are scattered across the high ground between drainage systems like Gibson Creek and Cottonwood Arroyo. A prominent Pipeline corridor cuts across the terrain, illustrating the infrastructure required to move resources from these isolated wells to wider markets. The county boundary between Ochiltree Co and Lipscomb Co runs vertically through the eastern portion of the map, marked by a long, straight road that serves as a primary transit line through this sparsely populated ranching and mineral district.
