About this map

Canadian River frontage and the dissected uplands of the Clark and Barnitz townships define this Western Oklahoma landscape during the mid-1980s. The settlement of Rhea serves as a local focal point, though the map's primary detail lies in the extensive network of energy extraction infrastructure, including numerous Oil Wells, Gas Wells, and a prominent Pipeline crossing the northern terrain.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural landmarks, such as the German Ch and its adjacent German Cem, alongside the Center Point Cem and Osceola Cem further south. The drainage patterns of West Barnitz Creek and Dry Creek carve through the section lines, illustrating how the natural topography influenced the placement of farms and cemeteries in this part of Custer County and Dewey County.
