About this map

Ochelata and Ramona anchor this survey of Washington County, showing the region's established reliance on the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor. The landscape is a complex network of industrial activity, with numerous Oil Wells, Gas Wells, and Drill Holes scattered across the terrain, reflecting the area's mid-century energy production. Water management is central to the local infrastructure, evidenced by the Sewage Disposal Ponds and the reservoir at Lake Todd.

Notable landmarks for genealogical research include the Ochelata Cem, Ramona Cem, and Happy Hill Ch. The physical geography is defined by the winding paths of Double Creek and Keeler Creek, while the Twin Mounds provide a distinctive topographic reference point. The map also documents the transition from raw land to industrial use, from a large Quarry to the Substation serving the township of Ramona.
