1967 Map of Straight

About this map

Wild Horse Lake sits as a prominent central feature within the Friendship and Voorhees districts of the Oklahoma Panhandle. This 1967 survey documents a landscape defined by the mid-century energy economy, where a dense network of Gas Wells and an occasional Oil Well are connected by a branching Pipeline system. Near the southern edge of the map, the small settlement of Straight is situated along a light-duty road, supported by the Straight Landing Field to its east. The topography is relatively level, broken primarily by the drainage of Pony Creek in the southwest corner and several scattered depressions that collect water across the high plains. The transition between Texas County, Oklahoma, and Stevens County, Kansas, is clearly marked, reflecting the importance of this border region for local land management and resource extraction during the era.
