1957 Map of Randlett

About this map

The Red River and Wichita River converge across this landscape, defining the state boundary between Cotton County, Oklahoma, and Clay County, Texas. This mid-century survey illustrates a region shaped by petroleum extraction and agrarian life, where expansive drilling sites like the Cache Creek Oil Field and Thornberry Oil Field sit alongside established ranching and farming tracts. The settlement of Randlett serves as the primary hub in the north, while across the river in Texas, smaller communities such as Thornberry and Charlie are connected by rural routes like Robinson Road. Significant local landmarks include the Perkins Reservation (Boy Scout Camp) near McFarland Island, providing a glimpse into the social and civic geography of the era. The mapping of the Linville Sch (Aband) and the Randlett Cem offers specific points of interest for those tracing early twentieth-century rural development.
