About this map

The Arkansas River cuts across this section of Stafford County, defining a landscape shaped by both the prairie river system and the extraction of natural resources. Small communities like Radium and Ray anchor the agricultural grid, while the presence of the Radium Townsite Oil Field, Bayer Oil Field, and Dunes North Oil Field indicates the subsurface industry that has long bolstered the local economy.

Genealogists will find notable value in the scattered burial grounds that serve as landmarks for early settlement patterns, including Pleasant Ridge Cemetery in the north and Point View Cemetery to the south. Tributaries such as Ash Creek and Pickle Creek provide the primary drainage for the surrounding fields, which are meticulously partitioned by a network of rural roads like NW 180th St and NW 90th Ave.
