About this map

Fort Supply serves as the focal point of this 1971 survey, centered near the convergence of the Beaver River and Wolf Creek. The landscape is dominated by the large Fort Supply Reservoir, which features several developed Picnic Areas and a Campground along its eastern shore. Infrastructure in the early 1970s is well-defined, including the Western State Hospital complex and its associated Waterworks and Sewage Disposal facilities.

Evidence of the region's transport and utility history is present through the Missouri - Kansas - Texas railroad line cutting diagonally across the quadrangle. For genealogists, the Fairlawn Cem is a notable landmark west of the town center. The map also records the expansion of the energy sector in Northwest Oklahoma, with numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells scattered across the Woodward and Harper Co boundaries.
