About this map

The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad corridor serves as the primary spine for this 1960s landscape, connecting the agricultural and industrial hubs of Addington, Waurika, Sugden, and Ryan. To the north, a prominent Tank Farm and the high elevation of Monument Hill overlook the winding course of Addington Creek, while an active Oil Field in the southeastern portion of the map indicates the region's energy production.

Drainage systems define the rural landscape, with Mud Creek and its many tributaries, including West Mud Creek and Post Oak Creek, carving through the townships of Price, Grayson, and Blackburn. Near the Red River boundary, the map records essential community landmarks such as Ryan Cem and Claypool Ch, alongside industrial activity marked by several Gravel Pits. This survey provides a clear view of the intersection between the rail-based economy and the natural creek networks of Jefferson County.
