1972 Map of Perry NW

About this map

Red Rock Creek and Sandy Bunch Creek meander through the northern reaches of this Noble County landscape, defining a terrain shaped by both water and industry during the early 1970s. The area sits at the intersection of agricultural tradition and energy extraction, evidenced by the broad Gas Field and numerous scattered Oil Wells and Oil Well sites. The Garfield Co Noble Co boundary line divides the western portion of the map, where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal path across the corner. Local history is anchored by essential community landmarks like the Antelope Valley Sch and Polo Cem. From the elevated terrain at White Rock down to the banks of Elkhorn Creek, the map captures a rural Oklahoma district balancing its natural drainage systems with the infrastructure of mid-century petroleum development.
