About this map

The Oklahoma plains of Custer County are defined here by a network of sectional roads and the legacy of early 20th-century agriculture and oil exploration. Centered on Indianapolis, this survey shows a landscape transitioning between the townships of Arapaho, Cedar, and Clinton. The presence of Mt Hope Cem and Summit Cem offers valuable waypoints for genealogists tracing the rural families of this region.

Industrial activity is noted through scattered Gas Wells and a Drill Hole, marking the energy sector's footprint alongside the drainage basins of Turtle Creek and Bear Creek. The Farmrail line cuts through the southern terrain, illustrating the continuing importance of rail transport for the area's grain and resource economies. Infrastructure markers like the Radio Tower and Water Tank near the southern boundary provide specific coordinates for those studying the physical development of these western Oklahoma prairies.
