About this map

Stinnett serves as the central hub of this Hutchinson County landscape, positioned at the intersection of routes 117 and 152. The 1950s economy is clearly defined by the massive Stinnett Oil Field and Borger Oil Field, which dominate the southern and central terrain. These petroleum operations are supported by industrial clusters and worker housing, including Supreme Camp, Creslenn Camp, and Stekoll Camp.

Critical infrastructure follows the deep cuts of the High Plains, with the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad threading through the hills near Cottonwood Creek and Smokehouse Creek. Specialized sites like the Canadian Gasoline Plant and the Pantex Water System Kay Station underscore the area's intensive industrial development during the post-war energy boom. Beyond the industrial sites, landmarks such as Signal Hill provide topographic orientation across the drainage basins of Box Creek.
