About this map

The town of Nash serves as the central hub of this north-central Oklahoma landscape, situated where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts across the prairie. The geography is defined by the braided path of the Salt Fork Arkansas River, which creates a complex hydrologic network alongside Wagon Creek and Coldwater Creek. To the northwest, the presence of Kegelman Auxiliary Field (Vance Air Force Base) introduces a significant military footprint to this otherwise agricultural region.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through the inclusion of several rural landmarks. The map identifies the Dunkard Cem and New Home Cem, the latter located near the settlement of New Home. Spiritual life in the outlying townships is represented by Eagle Grove Ch, while the township boundaries of Coldwater, Prairie, and Banner provide the formal structure for this 1960s-era rural survey.
