1978 Map of Sharp Lake

About this map

Ninemile Flats dominates the western portion of this landscape, reflecting the broad, open topography found along the border of Lincoln Co and Crowley Co. The area is defined by its drainage systems, most notably the meandering paths of Steels Fork and Little Horse Creek which converge toward the south as Horse Creek. Scattered Springs and an isolated Pond suggest the importance of groundwater in this semi-arid region, where land management is evidenced by the numerous wells and fine fence lines marked across the township sections. A singular Gravel Pit provides a glimpse into the local extraction needs of the late 1970s. Further east, the namesake Sharp Lake sits near the upper reaches of another unnamed drainage, while various storage tanks are positioned across the high ground to support livestock and agricultural operations.
