1960 Map of Sayre
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
Sayre serves as the central hub of Beckham County in this mid-century survey, positioned where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad crosses the North Fork Red River. The landscape is a network of small agricultural settlements and rural gathering places, including Berlin, New Liberty, and Doxey. Local history is deeply etched into the terrain through numerous community landmarks such as Lone Oak Ch, New Victory Ch, and Rosehill Cem. The influence of the regional petroleum industry is evident in the southeastern corner with the Elk City Oil Field. Transportation patterns show a mix of established rail lines and early highway development, with the iconic Route 66 running through the heart of the area. This era captures the transition from a purely agrarian economy to one shaped by energy extraction and modern road travel.
