About this map

Laverne serves as the focal point of this Harper County landscape, situated at the junction of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad and the Beaver River. The 1971 survey illustrates a transition into a modern energy-based economy, with a high density of gas wells and numerous infrastructure markers like the Compressor Station and several pipelines. Local life is well-documented through landmarks such as the Laverne Airport and the Drive-in Theater just north of town.

Industrial and extractive activity is scattered across the terrain, from a Claypit in the northwest to various sand and gravel pits. The mapping of the Laverne Memorial Cem and a rural Cem near Spring provides valuable data for genealogical research. The northern boundary is defined by the winding course of Kiowa Creek, while the southern portion of the sheet transitions into the Speermoore area, characterized by more isolated pumping stations and oil wells.
