About this map

The town of Red Rock (Redrock PO) serves as a focal point in this Noble County landscape, situated where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad crosses the winding path of Red Rock Creek. The 1970s infrastructure reflects a period of transition, with the Cimarron Turnpike shown under construction across the southern portion of the sheet. This new highway cuts through established energy sectors including a significant Gas Field and an Oil Field, highlighting the region's industrial reliance on subsurface resources.

Water management and local genealogy are documented through features such as the Red Rock Cem and various Gravel Pits that dot the terrain. To the south, the settlement of Otoe sits near the turnpike corridor, reflecting the area's ongoing development. Natural drainage is defined by several tributaries, including Skinny Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Squaw Creek, which weave through the agricultural and extraction-heavy landscape of northern Oklahoma.
