1974 Map of Sunray 1 NE

About this map

Frisco Creek and Coldwater Creek carve distinct drainage patterns across this High Plains landscape along the Texas-Oklahoma border in the mid-1970s. The map illustrates a rural economy transitioning between traditional agriculture and modern energy extraction, evidenced by the high concentration of gas wells and extensive pipelines traversing the terrain. Local history centers on small community landmarks like the Olso Church and its adjacent cemetery, which serve as anchors for the dispersed homesteads in Hansford Co and Sherman Co. Named locales such as Graham and Doyle provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family ties to this corner of the Panhandle. The presence of a Gravel Pit and numerous survey marks reflects the ongoing infrastructure development of the era.
