About this map

Ringwood and Meno anchor the southern reaches of this landscape in the early 1980s, situated along a stretch of highway marked as Under Construction. This survey illustrates a rural Oklahoma economy defined by extensive extraction and agriculture, dominated by a large Oil and Gas Field that spans the central sections of the quadrangle. Drainage patterns are defined by the meandering courses of Turkey Creek and Indian Creek, which cut through the terrain near the Alfalfa Co Major Co boundary.

For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several community landmarks. Religious life is represented by both West New Hopedale Ch and New Hopedale Ch, while several burial sites, including Pleasant Hill Cem, St Michael Cem, and Union Cem, are clearly identified. These sites, alongside a local Roadside Park and various Gravel Pits, offer a detailed look at the infrastructure of Major and Alfalfa counties at the time of the survey.
