2010 Map of Buffalo NE

About this map

Willow Creek and Lodge Pole Creek snake through the open ranchland of Harper County, Oklahoma, in this 2010 topographic record. The landscape is defined by a grid of rural section roads such as E0030 Rd and N1940 Rd, typical of the High Plains. Local landmarks of community and memory persist here, notably the Paruna Community Hall and the Willow Creek Cemetery, which serve as vital touchstones for family historians and researchers of this Oklahoma-Kansas border region. This map documents a series of unnamed but cataloged water management features, including Oknoname 059041 Reservoir and its associated Oknoname 059041 Dam. These reservoirs, scattered across the drainages, highlight the ongoing importance of water conservation and land management in the arid plains during the early 21st century.
