About this map

Harper County's high plains terrain is defined by a series of engineered water management features and intermittent stream beds that cut through the undulating landscape. Small-scale reservoirs, including Selman Gp1 Reservoir, Kinney 6 Reservoir, and Kinney 5 Reservoir, represent vital infrastructure for livestock and land management in this semi-arid region. These features are often situated at the headwaters of local drainages such as Sand Cr and Gilbert Cr. Toward the eastern edge of the quadrangle, the presence of Fern Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians, marking a quiet legacy of the area's rural settlement. The section-line road network, including routes like NS 204 RD and Ew 23 RD, illustrates the systematic grid layout typical of Oklahoma's land distribution history, providing access to these isolated water sources and homestead sites.
