1969 Map of Waynoka East

About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts across the northwest corner of this Woods County landscape, serving the community of Waynoka. This area is defined by its transition from the town center, marked by a Radio Tower and Waynoka Municipal Airport, to the sprawling rural sections of Eagle and Walnut Grove. To the south, the Cimarron River forms a natural boundary near the border with Major County. The map provides significant detail for genealogical research, documenting the locations of the Rose Valley Sch, Walnut Grove Sch, and the Walnut Grove Cem. Numerous gas wells dot the northern townships, particularly throughout Eagle, illustrating the mid-century energy infrastructure that paralleled the region's agricultural and transit hubs. Waterways like Wildcat Creek and Walnut Grove Creek drain the undulating terrain toward the Cimarron, while U.S. 281 provides the primary north-south roadway connection.
