1953 Map of McDowell Creek
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The Canadian River cuts through the eastern edge of this landscape, where deep drainage systems like Devils Canyon and Big Canyon have carved the terrain. In the early 1950s, this portion of Potter County was defined by large-scale ranching and the emerging natural gas industry. The map captures the specialized infrastructure of the era, from the numerous Windmills providing water for livestock to the scattered Gas Wells that marked the region's energy development.
