1954 Map of Perryton
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The High Plains of the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles meet along the Cimarron Base Line in this mid-century survey of a landscape defined by ranching, rail, and the emerging energy economy. The regional infrastructure is anchored by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads, which connect agricultural hubs like Perryton, Guymon, and Spearman. Significant educational and industrial landmarks are present, including the Panhandle A & M College in Oklahoma and the Cactus Ordnance Works to the southwest. Natural features like the Cimarron River and the shifting Beaver Meade and Englewood Dunes contrast with the grid-like expansion of gas wells and pipelines. Small community centers such as Slapout, Forgan, and Hooker serve as essential outposts across this open prairie terrain.
