About this map

Bluegrass Creek and Kiowa Creek converge in this corner of the Oklahoma Panhandle, carving a landscape defined by the energy boom and rural solitude. By the early 1970s, the terrain was heavily marked by the petroleum industry, with a dense network of Gas Wells, a Pipeline, and a central Pumping Station indicating the region's economic drivers. These industrial features contrast with the area's agricultural roots, preserved in the inclusion of Gate and the quiet presence of Madison Cem and Fairview Cem.

The eastern edge of the map tracks the boundary between Beaver and Harper Counties, passing through the area of Speermoore. Near the creek beds, resource extraction is further evidenced by a Gravel Pit and Sandpits, while Camp Creek winds through the southeastern sections. This survey provides a precise record of the land just before modern irrigation and further energy infrastructure altered the traditional high-plains landscape.
