1978 Map of De Nova

About this map

De Nova sits at the heart of this High Plains landscape in Washington County, where the 1970s cattle and energy economy are clearly visible. The terrain is marked by intermittent water sources and industrial development, characterized by the seasonal flow of Jack Creek and the distribution of numerous water wells across the section lines. Petroleum exploration defines much of the land use here, with several Oil Wells and exploratory Drill Holes scattered across the township, reflecting the regional push for resources during this era. The map's grid-like road network and the sparse placement of structures around the De Nova settlement suggest a quiet, agricultural community deeply integrated with the surrounding prairie and its subsurface mineral rights.
