1960 Map of North of Satanta

About this map

The High Plains of Haskell County are defined here by a systematic grid of resource extraction and agricultural infrastructure. Recorded in 1960 with revisions from 1977, the landscape is densely populated with Gas Wells and independent Wells, reflecting the intensive energy development of the mid-20th century. This industrial overlay is further marked by a series of Pipelines cutting across the townships of Dudley and Haskell. Amidst this productive landscape lies the Haskell Cem, a quiet site of local genealogy and memory. The map also captures the fine-grained details of rural life, including hundreds of fence and field lines compiled from aerial photography, showing how the land was partitioned for farming alongside the growing gas fields.
