About this map

Waukomis sits at the heart of this Garfield County landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the industrial infrastructure of the early 1980s. The town is flanked by a significant Oil and Gas Field, indicating the region's energy-driven economy during this era. To the northeast, the footprint of Vance Air Force Base dominates the terrain, complete with its runways and the nearby Eisenhower Sch.

A network of watercourses, including Turkey Creek and the evocatively named Hell and Gone Creek, carves through the section lines, defining the local drainage. Cultural landmarks of the period are well-represented, from the Waukomis Cem and Anderson Landing Strip to leisure spots like the Drive-in Theater and Meadowlake Park. The rail corridor of the Burlington and Northern lines further highlights the importance of transport for both the military installation and the surrounding farming community.
