About this map

The confluence of the Verdigris River and Fall River anchors this 2012 survey of Neodesha and its surrounding Wilson County landscape. This region is notably defined by its early industrial heritage, prominently marked by the site of the Norman Number One Oil Well, the first commercial oil well in the Mid-Continent field. The town’s grid spreads across the lowlands between the rivers, reaching toward Buff Mound to the northeast.

Genealogists can find several established burial grounds in the area, including Grandview Cem, Varner Cem, Ross Cem, and Hatler Cem. The map also captures the rural settlements of Buffville and Hilford, alongside vital infrastructure like the Neodesha Municipal Airport and the numerous river crossings such as Whiteside Bridge, Verdi Bridge, and Bulls Ford Bridge, which facilitate travel through this river-valley terrain.
