1973 Map of Red Horse Creek

About this map

Beaver River meanders across this high plains landscape of the Oklahoma Panhandle, carving a wide valley floor between the elevated plateaus of Beaver North and Beaver South. The early 1970s environment is defined by its watercourses and energy extraction, with numerous gas and oil wells concentrated within the Hackberry Field. The rugged drainage systems of Palo Duro Creek and Red Horse Creek converge toward the main river channel, shaping the local topography. Human presence is marked by isolated landmarks such as the Union Center Ch and Walden Ranch, reflecting the low-density settlement patterns of this cattle and energy-producing region. A notable administrative boundary, the Texas Co Beaver Co line, runs vertically through the western portion of the map, separating distinct jurisdictions within this open terrain of Grand Valley.
