1971 Map of Oxford NW

About this map

The rolling agricultural landscape of Gosper County is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, most notably Turkey Creek and its East Branch, which carve through the Lincoln and Highland townships. In the early 1970s, this area remained primarily rural, characterized by a sparse grid of section roads and numerous water extraction points simply labeled as Well. A significant portion of the northeastern quadrant is dedicated to the Gosper National Wildlife Management Area, preserving local habitat amidst the surrounding farmland. Genealogists may find interest in the Zion Cem, located centrally in the Highland township, which serves as a quiet landmark in the prairie. The map also traces modern utility infrastructure with a prominent Pipeline crossing the southern portion of the terrain, illustrating the integration of industrial transport into the traditional plains environment.
