2012 Map of Putnam NW

About this map

Fairview Cem serves as a primary genealogical landmark in this section of Dewey County, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of Trail Cr and Sorter Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern rural infrastructure of Western Oklahoma, characterized by a highly regular grid of section-line roads such as n2270 RD and e0720 RD that partition the agricultural land. An interesting intersection of land management and hydrology is visible at the Boggess Erosion Control Number 1 Reservoir, which regulates local drainage. The map provides a clear view of the dispersed settlement patterns typical of the region, where family farms are linked by a network of numbered county roads that follow the surveyed sections across the Oklahoma prairie.
