About this map

The boundary of Woodward Co Major Co bisects this late 1960s landscape, where agricultural fields meet the intricate drainages of the Cimarron River watershed. The small settlement of Cedardale serves as a local hub, situated near the western edge of the quadrangle. North of the town, the terrain transitions into the distinct geographic regions of Garvey, Jones, and Bishop, characterized by a dense network of ravines and seasonal watercourses feeding into Griever Creek.

Energy extraction is a defining industrial feature of the era, with numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells scattered across the northern sections, often connected by an extensive pipeline network. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for the Cedardale Cem and Liberty Cem, alongside a Roadside Park located along Highway 281. This survey offers a clear view of the intersection between traditional prairie land use and the mid-century expansion of the Oklahoma petroleum industry.
