1972 Map of Watonga Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Roman Nose State Park serves as the central focal point of this Oklahoma landscape, where the recreational waters of Watonga Lake and Boecher Lake are set against a backdrop of complex canyon topography. The map illustrates the region's diverse transition from the riparian corridor of the North Canadian River in the west to the higher, gas-producing lands of Carlton and Flynn townships. Transportation history is etched into the terrain through the C R I & P railroad line and an Old Railroad Grade that winds through the central hills. Local heritage is preserved in landmarks such as the Bridgford Cem and Ruby Mill, while the presence of numerous Gas Wells highlights the energy-based economy of the early 1970s. The concentration of facilities around Big Spring Picnic Area and the Lodge indicates a well-established mid-century park infrastructure within the gypsum-rich hills of Blaine County.
