1966 Map of Ox Yoke Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

South Wichita River meanders across this King County landscape, carving a deep valley fed by numerous seasonal drainages during the mid-1960s. The terrain is defined by the erosion patterns of Ox Yoke Creek and Bird Creek, which descend from the high plains into the river breaks. This was a working ranchland environment during the survey era, evidenced by the scattered infrastructure of the petroleum and cattle industries. Numerous Drill Hole sites and a Gas Well appear alongside a long north-south Pipeline, while localized ranch features like Jerrys Tank and a Corral mark the management of livestock. Geologically, the map captures the transition from open grazing land to the steep walls of Big Getaway Canyon, with several Ford crossings providing the only passage across the shifting riverbed and creeks like Dikes Cr.
