About this map

Fargo sits at the northwestern edge of this 1969 topographic survey, marking a pocket of settlement near the Fargo Cem along the border of Ellis and Woodward counties. The landscape transitions into the open plains of western Oklahoma, defined by the winding paths of Boggy Creek and Turkey Creek. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the community of Keenan is situated near the natural drainages that carve through the local topography.

Energy and resource extraction appear as primary drivers of the local economy during this era, evidenced by numerous Gas Wells and a Caliche Pit scattered across the township lines of Oleta, Woodward, and McNeal. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of rural burial grounds like Gnadenfield Cem, which provide specific points of reference for family histories in this rural region.
