1973 Map of Pinneo SE

About this map

High plains energy development and intermittent watercourses define this portion of Washington County during the early 1970s. The landscape is characterized by the extensive footprint of the Ranchero Oil Field, Rago North Oil Field, and Belle Oil Field, with numerous Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit scattered across the township grids. These industrial features sit alongside natural drainages like Camp Creek and Surveyor Creek, which carve subtle paths through the terrain. A solitary Grave located in section eight provides a poignant genealogical landmark amidst the broad ranching and petroleum-rich territory. The map illustrates a period when resource extraction and open-range land use were the primary drivers of the local economy, documented through detailed section lines and elevation contours near Brunker Creek and the notable Shears Draw.
