1970 Map of Buffalo NW

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Oklahoma-Kansas state line defines the northern boundary of this 1970 landscape, where Harper County transitions from rolling prairie into the dissected drainages of Snake Creek and Willow Creek. The small settlement of Willard sits in the northwest, serving as a focal point for local history alongside the nearby Willard Cemetery. This area reflects the mid-century energy economy of the High Plains, with several scattered Oil Well and Gas Well sites dotting the terrain. Near the intersection of modern transit routes, a Roadside Park provides a singular public landmark in an otherwise private ranching and drilling landscape. The map captures the rural infrastructure of the era, from the established sections of Adams and Wilson to the primary path of Route 183.
