2012 Map of Buffalo NW

About this map

The settlement of Willard anchors this Harper County landscape, situated where the high plains of Oklahoma meet the Kansas border. This 2012 survey illustrates a classic section-line road network, with numbered rural routes like e0030 RD and n1860 RD providing access to the region's agricultural homesteads. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Snake Cr, which meanders south toward the Cimarron River watershed, and the smaller drainage of Willow Cr to the east. Genealogical interest is centered on the local burial grounds, specifically the Willard Cem near the town site and the Otter Creek Cem located further south. Along the eastern margin, US Highway 183 serves as the primary north-south transit corridor, connecting these rural communities to the larger region.
