About this map

Highland Cem stands as a focal point for genealogy in this prairie landscape of Woods County, situated amidst the township divisions of Hopeton and Belle. The survey, field-checked in 1969, illustrates a region transitioning into energy extraction, evidenced by numerous Gas Wells scattered across the northern and eastern sections. A major Pipeline cuts diagonally through the terrain, tracing the industrial infrastructure that defined rural Oklahoma during this period.

The hydrological character of the area is centered on Sand Creek in the northeast, while the western portion near Galena features infrastructure like a Gaging Sta and a Radio Tower. These technical landmarks, alongside the labeled districts of Green Valley and Elberta, reflect a landscape organized by both traditional land divisions and modern utility requirements, providing a clear view of local land use at the close of the 1960s.
