About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts horizontally across this central Oklahoma landscape, marking a historical division near the junction of Major, Kingfisher, and Garfield counties. In the early 1980s, the region was defined by a mix of agricultural sections and an expansive Oil and Gas Field, with a network of wells and a major Pipeline tracing through the townships of Sheridan, Washington, and Forest. Small rural hubs like Barr and Kennedy serve as the primary landmarks in this sparsely populated prairie country.

Genealogists will find significant value in the scattered local cemeteries, including Wildwood, Cimarron Valley, Mt Zion, and Morrison. These sites, along with the St James Ch, provide essential touchstones for tracing family histories in the rural townships. Aviation and transit points such as the Metz Landing Strip highlight the practical infrastructure of this mid-continent energy and farming corridor.
