About this map

The Beaver River winds across this portion of Beaver Co, defining a landscape of wide river bottoms and drainage creeks in the Oklahoma Panhandle. This 1971 survey captures the region's energy infrastructure during a period of active natural gas extraction, evidenced by the dense network of Gas Wells and a major Pipeline cutting across the northern sections.

The terrain is dissected by numerous seasonal waterways including Spring Creek, Clear Creek, and Cottonwood Creek, which flow toward the central river valley. Beyond the industrial footprint, the map documents the rural township divisions of Knowles, Benton, and Elmwood. A localized Gravel Pit and scattered Drill Hole sites further illustrate the mid-century land use in this semi-arid high plains environment.
