1956 Map of Rainy Mountain Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Rainy Mountain Creek winds through this Kiowa County landscape, where the transition from agricultural traditions to petroleum extraction is clearly visible. The area is anchored by the Rainy Mountain Church, a vital community landmark situated near the boundary of Hobart and Harrison. By the mid-1950s, the rural economy was defined by a mix of infrastructure, from the traditional Windmill providing water to the emerging energy sector evidenced by several Oil wells and an associated Slush tank. The presence of an extensive Pipeline underscores the industrial shifts occurring across these western Oklahoma plains. The map provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, showing how early 20th-century settlement patterns adapted to the local hydrology and the developing oil industry.
