1970 Map of Edith

About this map

The Cimarron River carves a wide path through this Oklahoma landscape, serving as the boundary between Woods and Woodward counties. On the northern banks, the small settlement of Edith sits along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which follows the river's course. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south drainages including Sand Creek, Moccasin Creek, and West Moccasin Creek, all feeding into the Cimarron. These waterways create a corrugated landscape of draws and ridges where rural life is anchored by landmarks like Mount Pleasant Cem and the community of Plainview. The presence of a Gas Well and Gravel Pit indicates the local extraction economy, while the southern portion of the map is marked by the winding paths of Buffalo Creek, Traders Creek, and Girl Creek as they approach the river valley.
