About this map

Salt Fork Arkansas River dominates this Alfalfa County landscape, winding through a region defined by agricultural townships and the energy industry in the late 1960s. The settlement of Ingersoll serves as a central point where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad intersects the local infrastructure. The terrain is marked by numerous resource extraction sites, including a Gas Well and Oil Well, signaling the era's industrial activity.

Genealogists may find value in the presence of Keith Cem located in the northern section of the map. The map also captures the path of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe line as it follows the course of Driftwood Creek. From the township boundaries of Keith and Driftwood to the Radio Tower and various Sandpit locations, this survey provides a snapshot of Oklahoma's rural and industrial development before more modern shifts in the rail network.
