About this map

Quinlan serves as the central hub of this Woodward County landscape, situated along the steel corridor of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. The region is defined by a series of north-south drainage networks including Cuddy Creek, West Creek, and Ewers Creek, which cut through the terrain of the Liberty and Garvey districts. This late-1960s survey documents a rural economy transitioning toward energy extraction, evidenced by numerous Gas Wells and a Drill Hole scattered across the township lines of T. 23 N. and T. 22 N.

Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the presence of Red Top Cem in the north and Union Cem further south. Aviation and communications infrastructure are represented by a Landing Strip and Radio Tower, while industrial activity is noted at the Sandpit near the eastern boundary. The intricate network of Pipeline routes underscores the area's role in the regional petroleum infrastructure during this era.
