1970 Map of Laverne SW

About this map

The boundary between Harper and Ellis Counties defines this landscape in northwestern Oklahoma, where the energy industry is a visible driver of the local economy. Dozens of Gas Wells and an extensive network of Pipelines crisscross the townships of Speermoore, Otter, and Jefferson, illustrating the intense resource extraction occurring in the early 1970s. The terrain is deeply dissected by drainage systems, most notably Spring Creek and Clear Creek, which join with Dry Prong to carve the rolling surface of the High Plains.
