1972 Map of Wann

About this map

Wann sits at the heart of this landscape along the border of Washington and Nowata counties. The early 1970s marked a period of significant transformation for the area as the Copan Lake project began altering the western terrain. The survey captures a network of former industrial and transport routes, including the Missouri - Kansas - Texas Railroad Grade and an Old Railroad Grade that once connected these rural settlements. Local life is centered around several religious sites such as the Oakdale Ch, Oakdale Free Holiness Ch, and the Church of the Firstborn. The geography is further defined by numerous extraction sites, with Oil Fields, Oil Wells, and several Drill Holes scattered across the land, signifying the importance of the petroleum industry to the regional economy alongside the drainage of Cotton Creek and California Creek.
