About this map

The Great Salt Plains Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this Alfalfa County survey, where the Salt Fork Arkansas River flows into the protected wetlands of the refuge. Along the northern shoreline, the settlement of Nescatunga and the smaller community of Vining provide a point of human connection to this expansive hydrological system. The terrain is a network of small creeks and ponds, including Upper Dog Pond and Dog Pond, which support the diverse migratory bird habitat for which this region is known.

Genealogical interest is found at Ware Cem near Powell Cr in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. A system of section-line roads like n2700 RD and e0150 RD grid the landscape, while specialized trails such as Eagle Roost Trl and the YCC Trl weave through the shoreline ecology. The map documents the persistent agricultural and conservation patterns of northern Oklahoma, showing how water management and rural townships define the area.
