About this map

The borderlands of Garfield and Noble Counties reveal a landscape defined by prairie watercourses and the infrastructure of the Oklahoma petroleum industry. Red Rock Creek and its many tributaries, including Monkey Creek and Elkhorn Creek, carve across the townships of White Rock and Olive. The presence of an extensive Oil Field and Oil and Gas Field indicates the region's economic drivers during the early 1970s, with numerous Oil Wells scattered across the rural sections.

Social and transportation hubs are centered around landmarks like the Antelope Valley Ch and the Polo Cem. The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cuts through the northwestern corner, serving as a primary transit link for local agricultural and industrial output. The map also documents industrial sites such as a Shale Pit, providing a detailed record of the land use before later twentieth-century developments altered the rural character of these townships.
