1970 Map of Sleeping Bear Creek NW

About this map

Fern Cem lies on the eastern edge of this western Oklahoma landscape, a quiet marker of early settlement in Harper County during the 1970s. The terrain is defined by its industrial and agricultural boundaries, divided into the Good, Saline, and Center townships. Natural drainage is primarily defined by Creek, Sand, and Gilbert, which carve through the topographical contours. The map reflects a period of active energy development, as evidenced by the distribution of numerous Gas Wells throughout the northern half of the quadrangle and a prominent Pipeline crossing the southwestern corner. These features, along with the detailed grid of section lines and fence lines, offer a window into the land management and resource extraction patterns that characterized this part of the state in the late twentieth century.
