About this map

The Arkansas River carves a path through this section of Ford County, defining a landscape where agriculture and transit converge. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the town of Ford and its surrounding infrastructure, including the Ford corporate boundary, the C R I & P railroad line, and the Ford Cemetery. Evidence of local industry is visible through multiple Gravel Pits and the presence of Pipelines cutting across the northern sections of Spearville and Wheatland.

Educational and social foundations of the rural community are documented by School No 459 and the Pleasant Valley Cemetery. The map reflects a period of mid-century utility, showing features like the Sewage Disposal Ponds near the river and a dense network of section-line roads that organize the township. To the north, Coon Creek meanders through the plains, while the broad Pleasant Valley area occupies the eastern corridor.
