2018 Map of Sleeping Bear Creek NW

About this map

The High Plains of Harper County are defined here by a section-line road grid and the drainage of Sand Cr and Gilbert Cr. In this corner of northwest Oklahoma, the landscape is shaped by agrarian management and ranching, evidenced by the presence of Selman Gp1 Reservoir and Kinney Reservoir. These water sources reflect the mid-century and later efforts to manage the local watershed in a semi-arid region. Family history and local heritage are anchored by the Ferri Cem, located along the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The map documents the persistent rectangular survey system, showing the boundaries between t26n r21w and neighboring townships that organized this territory since its settlement.
