1989 Map of Mayfield

About this map

Mayfield and the surrounding plains of western Oklahoma are defined by the convergence of several vital waterways and a robust energy infrastructure. The North Fork Red River meanders across the southern landscape, joined by tributaries such as Sweetwater Creek, Buffalo Creek, and Salt Creek. This 1989 survey captures a period of industrial activity within the Buffalo Field and Gas Field, where an extensive network of pipelines connects numerous Gas Wells to a central Gas Treatment Facility. Local life is anchored by the Mayfield Cem and a Community Center, with the Tittle Bridge providing a key crossing point over the river. The terrain transitions into the Texola region near the state line, illustrating the sparsely populated but economically active character of Beckham County as it was toward the end of the 20th century.
