1967 Map of Straight SW

About this map

Pony Creek meanders through the northern plains of the Oklahoma Panhandle, carving a shallow valley across a landscape defined by mid-century energy development. The small settlement of Straight sits near the northern boundary, supported by local infrastructure including a Radio Tower and a Landing Field. To the east, the community of Mouser anchors a section of Texas County where the high plains begin to break toward the drainage of Goff Creek in the south. The extensive network of Gas Well and Oil Well sites, connected by a prominent Pipeline, illustrates the intensity of the region's petroleum industry during the late 1960s. Terrain labels like Friendship, Optima, and Guymon indicate the broader regional districts, while localized extraction is evidenced by several Gravel Pits and a Caliche Pit scattered across the township lines.
