About this map

The Lincoln Co Pottawatomie Co boundary line bisects this landscape, which is defined by a transitional economy of agriculture and extraction during the late 1960s. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor serves as a primary north-south spine, passing through the settlement of Aydelotte and connecting toward Meeker in the north. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the influence of the petroleum industry with a designated Oil Field and numerous pipelines cutting across the terrain.

Local civic and social life is anchored by landmarks like the North Rock Creek Sch and the Shawnee Elks Club Lake near the southern border. For genealogists, the map identifies several burial grounds including New Salem Cem, New Hope Cem, and Centerville Cem. The landscape is drained by several waterways, most notably South Quapaw Creek and the N Canadian R at the southeastern edge, while scattered Quarries point to local mineral production.
