1979 Map of Nescatunga Creek South

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts horizontally across this landscape, marking a historical division just south of the Salt Fork Arkansas River. This 1970s survey captures a sparse prairie environment defined by seasonal drainage systems and the emerging energy footprint indicated by Oil Wells in the north and southeast. The terrain transitions from the broader river valley into the broken ground of Cristy Canyon and the surrounding township ranges of Avilla and Coldwater. The intricate drainage network includes Nescatunga Creek and Mustang Creek, which feed into the primary river system. This map is a record of the Kansas-Oklahoma borderlands before modern agricultural and industrial expansion further altered the character of these high plains.
