1973 Map of Perryton SE

About this map

The northern High Plains landscape of Ochiltree County in the early 1970s is defined by a dense network of energy infrastructure and the deep incision of Wolf Creek across the southern half of the sheet. The southern edge of Perryton is visible in the north, featuring a Hospital, a Golf Course, and a Radio Tower. The era's oil and gas production is evidenced by numerous unnamed wells and significant Pipelines that traverse the terrain, supported by a Pumping Station near the center of the survey. Historically significant landmarks include the Ochiltree Cemetery, which sits on the plateau overlooking the rugged draws feeding into the creek valley. Further south, the Perryton Country Club and a Water Tank mark the recreational limits of the area, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line clips the northwestern corner.
