1969 Map of Alva NW

About this map

The Salt Fork Arkansas River cuts through the southwestern corner of this landscape, anchoring a region of dissected drainages and agricultural upland on the border of Oklahoma and Kansas. Located in Woods Co, the area is defined by the Fritzlen terrain and a network of watercourses including Driftwood Creek, Spring Creek, and Boggy Creek. Evidence of early resource extraction is present with a Gas Well located in the northwest, while local social history is preserved at Fairview Cem and Roadside Park. This 1969 field-checked survey includes fine-scale details like fence and field lines, offering a precise view of the rural land divisions and the hydrologic character of the plains before late-twentieth-century changes.
