About this map

The town of Randlett sits as a central hub in Cotton County just north of the Oklahoma-Texas border, where the Great Plains transition toward the Red River basin. This mid-1980s landscape is defined by a grid of rural roads and the diagonal stroke of the H.E. Bailey Turnpike, which cuts across the drainage basins of Deep Red Creek and West Cache Creek. The area’s economy and community life are grounded in the Southwest Randlett Oil Field and the Big Pasture High Sch, while local history is anchored at the Randlett Cem.

Water plays a critical role in the geography here, with Rabbit Creek and Bird Creek meandering through the southern sections toward the state line. Smaller landmarks such as the Landing Strip and various Oil Wells pepper the terrain, illustrating the integration of local aviation and petroleum extraction within this agricultural landscape. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of Jackson and Jefferson townships during a period of established rural infrastructure.
