About this map

Industrial expansion defines the landscape along the Canadian River in the early 1950s, where the Panhandle's energy boom is etched into the terrain. The region is marked by an intensive network of gas wells and petroleum infrastructure, including multiple instances of the Carbon Black Plant and a dedicated Gasoline Plant. These facilities supported settlements like Sanford and the Combined Camp, while the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad provided the essential transportation link for the Merchant Oil Field.
