About this map

The Canadian River winds through the southwestern corner of this survey, defining the natural boundary between Ellis County and Roger Mills County. This mid-century landscape is characterized by its intermittent drainage patterns and industrial activity, evidenced by an Oil Well and a Drill Hole located in the interior plains. These features suggest an era of active subsurface exploration across the Grand district.

Water management in this arid region is visible at Packsaddle Lake and along the seasonal course of Sand Creek. The settlement of Streeter sits near the river's edge, serving as a localized point of interest for those studying the mid-1960s rural infrastructure of western Oklahoma. The map's detailed contour lines illustrate a terrain of significant elevation changes, particularly as the land descends toward the river valley.
