1973 Map of Turpin NE

About this map

The High Plains borderlands of the Oklahoma Panhandle meet Kansas in this early 1970s survey. This portion of Beaver County reflects a landscape primarily defined by the energy industry and rural infrastructure, punctuated by numerous Gas Wells and an Oil Well. Small, localized gathering points serve the farming and ranching community, such as the Tarpin Ch and the Roadside Park located along the primary east-west highway. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of vital community landmarks including Union Cem and Turpin Cem. The small settlement of Little Ponderosa sits near the western edge of the quadrangle, representing the sparse but resilient residential footprint in this semi-arid region near the state line.
