1970 Map of Mocane SE

About this map

The meandering course of the Beaver River dominates this Panhandle landscape, carving through a region defined by early energy development and agricultural boundaries. Surveyed in 1969, the map reveals a high density of gas wells and complex pipelines that speak to the industrial character of the Oklahoma plains during this era. The terrain is further shaped by several drainage systems, including Spring Creek, Duck Pond Creek, and Camp Creek, which feed into the primary river valley. Scattered industrial markers like a Gravel Pit indicate local resource extraction, while the distinct township sections of Knowles and Benton provide a clear grid of human organization and land ownership. This survey is particularly notable for its inclusion of fine red dashed lines that represent selected fence and field lines as they appeared from aerial photography, offering genealogists and land researchers a specific look at property divisions and rural land use.
