About this map

Stafford sits at the heart of this Custer County landscape during the early 1980s, where the rural character is defined by a dense network of energy infrastructure and agricultural field boundaries. The topography is marked by the winding course of the Washita River and the tributaries of Barnitz Creek, which carve through the plains. Local social and family history is preserved at landmarks like the Sunnyside Community Hall and two burial grounds, Valley View Cem and Cabaniss Cem.

Industrial development is evident through numerous Gas Well sites scattered across the township lines. Transportation and commerce are represented by the crossing of the At & SF and Farmrail railroad lines in the southern portion of the quadrangle. This survey, conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, provides a detailed look at the drainage patterns of West Barnitz Creek and East Barnitz Creek before modern expansion altered the local landscape.
