1979 Map of Porcupine Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The North Canadian River meanders across this landscape in the late 1970s, defining a broad valley floor where agriculture and industry meet. This region, spanning the borders of Blaine, Kingfisher, and Canadian counties, is dotted with evidence of Oklahoman resource extraction, from numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells to the specialized Gypsum Pits near Porcupine Butte. Local community life is anchored by landmarks such as the Swappingback Mission, the Grandview Community Center, and Coleman Chapel. The map reveals a highly engineered landscape, where a Refinery, Waste Ponds, and a large Feedlot operate alongside the historic route of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad. The presence of a Cem and specific bridges like BR 1414 provide fine-grained detail for those researching local family history or the evolution of rural infrastructure.
