1971 Map of Slapout

About this map

Slapout serves as the focal point of this western Oklahoma landscape, situated at the junction of Highway 270 during the early 1970s. The region is defined by the high plains topography of Bluegrass and the drainage basins of Camp Creek and Clear Creek. The area's mid-century economic character is clearly mapped through a dense network of Gas Wells, underground Pipelines, and a Drill Hole, illustrating the intensity of energy extraction in the Panhandle. Local social history is anchored by the Fairview Ch and Poplar Grove Cem near the border of Beaver and Ellis Counties. The presence of a Roadside Park and a Radio Tower further speaks to the modern infrastructure supporting this rural community as it transitioned through the post-war era.
