About this map

Leedey stands as the primary hub in this West Oklahoma landscape, where the town's compact grid is flanked by the Sewage Disp Ponds and a prominent Radio Tower. The area's agricultural and industrial character is defined by a dense distribution of Gas Wells and the remnants of former transportation networks, most notably the Old Railroad Grade running south from the town center. Local history is anchored by several rural burial sites, including Evergreen Cem, New Hermon Cem, and Rhea Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the region's early settlements.

The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways such as Barnitz Creek and Quartermaster Creek, which feed into local catchments like Leedey Lake and Mabry Lake. Aviation history is represented by the Haxton Landing Field, while the county line between Dewey and Custer Counties bisects the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 1987 edition provides a clear view of the petroleum-dependent economy and rural land use during the late twentieth century.
