About this map

The S Fork Ninnescah River meanders across this rural Kingman County landscape, anchoring a network of tributaries that includes Smoots Cr, Coon Cr, and Sand Cr. The small community of Murdock serves as a local center, supported by its namesake Murdock Cem and a nearby post office. Further south, the settlement of Belmont sits along the road grid, while Greenwood Cem provides another point of historical interest for genealogists tracing local families.

Energy extraction is a visible part of the local economy here, evidenced by the Broadway West Oil and Gas Field and the Bolinger Oil Field in the eastern portion of the survey. The presence of Camp Mennoscah along the river highlights the area's role as a site for recreation and gathering. This map records a landscape defined by organized agriculture and the persistence of small rural communities in the early 21st century.
