About this map

The North Fork Ninnescah River valley is the focal point of this 1960s survey, dominated by the newly formed Cheney Reservoir. The map illustrates a landscape in transition as the reservoir reaches its normal pool elevation of 1422 feet, submerging the river bottomlands while creating the Cheney State Game Management Area along its western shores.

Subsurface mineral extraction defines the uplands, with the Haven Friendship Gas Field and Hilger Southwest Oil Field indicated by numerous oil wells. A significant historical landmark, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, cuts across the lower portion of the sheet near Pleasant Hill Cem, marking an earlier era of land division. The terrain is otherwise characterized by the intermittent flow of Gar Creek and the organized grid of rural Reno County.
