1971 Map of Sturgis NW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Colorado-Oklahoma border cuts across the northern edge of this 1970s landscape, marking the transition between Baca County and Cimarron County. The terrain is defined by the sweeping curves of the Cimarron River as it winds through the northwest, while Goff Creek flows across the southern reaches. This is an active energy landscape, characterized by an extensive Oil Field and dozens of individual extractive sites. Genealogists and local historians can find a dense network of Gas Wells and Oil Wells scattered throughout the central and eastern sections, reflecting the mid-century industrial footprint on this high plains territory. Notable landforms like Sandy Hook provide geological context to a region shaped by both its natural hydrology and subterranean resources.
