About this map

The historically significant settlement of Langston serves as the focal point of this map, situated in the eastern portion of Logan County along the boundary with Payne County. The presence of Langston Univ highlights the area's long-standing academic and cultural importance. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Cimarron River to the north and the complex drainage of Fitzgerald Cr, which feeds into the Fitzgerald-Soldier Cr Site 2 Reservoir and the larger Lake Langston.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense concentration of burial sites, including Mount Hope Cem, Iowa City Cem, and the uniquely named Beulah Land Cem. The transport network shows the shift from older routes like Old State Hwy 33 to modern county roads. Away from the university town, the small community of Pleasant Valley and a series of family-named landmarks like Davis and Balls Cem provide a look into the rural settlement patterns of the region.
