About this map

Cheyenne Indian Reservation lands dominate the eastern portion of this West Oklahoma landscape during the mid-1950s, a period marked by the expansion of water infrastructure and energy production. The winding course of the Canadian River and its various forks define the topography, while the emergence of Foss Reservoir and Lake Hobart illustrates the era's focus on regional water management. Local life is anchored by an extensive network of rural institutions, such as the Riverside Indian School Reserve and several family-named landmarks like the Swapping Back Indian School and Hebron Church.
