About this map

Sleeping Bear Creek meanders through the heart of Woodward County, defining a landscape of agricultural water management and rural section lines in the early 21st century. The map reveals an intricate network of small-scale impoundments and dams, often named after local families or designated by state-wide inventory codes. Significant water features like the Selman 29 Reservoir and George Number 2 Reservoir serve the surrounding cattle ranches and wheat fields, supported by George Kirten Number 2 Dam.

A rigid grid of county roads, including N2080 Rd and E0210 Rd, partitions the land, providing access to the various tributaries of Elm Creek and Traders Creek. This survey captures the specific hydrological modifications of the Oklahoma plains, where numerous small reservoirs like Oknoname 05919 Reservoir and Oknoname 153003 Reservoir were established to manage the intermittent flow of prairie creeks.
