About this map

Agricultural plains meet the rising energy economy in this late 1960s study of the Knox and Haskell County line. The landscape is defined by a dense grid of Oil Wells and a sprawling Oil Field, particularly concentrated south of Goree (BM 1457). This period finds the region well-connected by the Fort Worth and Denver railroad, which bisects the quadrangle and links the primary settlements.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the detailed plotting of rural infrastructure, from the Elem and High Sch in Goree to the isolated Old Goree Cem and Goree Cem. Small-scale aviation is represented by Petty Airfield and LeFlar Airfield, while social life centers on the Munday Country Club along the banks of Lake Creek. The topography remains relatively flat, punctuated by Scott Lake and drainage systems like Wild Horse Creek.
