About this map

Waurika serves as a focal point in Jefferson County during the late 1980s, sitting at the junction of the Oklahoma Kansas and Texas railroad and several key highways. This survey illustrates a landscape shaped by historical boundaries and ranching operations, notably featuring the Indian Territory Boundary Line running north-south through the western sections. The terrain is marked by significant drainages including Cow Creek and Beaver Creek, while local landmarks like the Historical Museum and County Hospital reflect the civic development of the era.

To the north, the settlement of Addington is situated near a prominent tank farm and the northern reaches of Cow Creek. The mapping reveals the transition from open range to organized townships, with the surveyed lines of Price and Grayson districts overlaid on the rolling hills. Features like Monument Hill and various cemeteries provide specific points of interest for those tracing the physical history of the region.
