About this map

Longdale anchors the southeastern corner of this landscape, situated just north of the massive impoundment of Canton Lake. This 1970s survey illustrates a region defined by the management of the North Canadian River and the extensive State Game Management Area that borders the water. The infrastructure of the era is prominently displayed through the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line, which cuts diagonally across the terrain toward the Glass Mountains.

Genealogists and local historians will find the small settlements of Dane and Cedar Springs preserved alongside the Bethel Cem. The map reveals an economy tied to the land, showing numerous Gas Wells scattered across the township lines of Crowell and Fairview, as well as industrial features like the Caliche Pit and Sandpit. The Fairview Lakeside Country Club stands as a notable social landmark near the lake's northern shore.
