About this map

The Canadian River and its northern fork carve a diagonal path through this 1980s landscape, defining the boundaries and agricultural patterns of west-central Oklahoma. This survey captures a transitional period for the region's educational and conservation infrastructure, featuring the campus of Southwestern State College in the south and the Darlington State Game Bird Hatchery to the east. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological features like The Mound and Cheyenne Butte, which rise above the surrounding plains.

Regional transportation and community life are anchored by the municipal hubs of Watonga and Weatherford, while smaller settlements like Greenfield and Eagle City preserve the grid of early rural townships. Aviation history is noted by the Thomas P Stafford Airport, and outdoor recreation is established at Roman Nose State Park, providing a comprehensive view of Blaine County and its neighbors before the turn of the millennium.
