1969 Map of Waynoka NW

About this map

Whitehorse Creek and Eagle Chief Creek carve through this section of Woods County, defining a landscape of rolling terrain and drainage systems north of the Cimarron River. The late 1960s survey illustrates a rural economy transitioning through resource extraction, evidenced by numerous gas wells and a Sandpit scattered across the McKinley and Penn townships. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railway cuts a diagonal path across the territory, serving as the primary transit corridor for the region. Social and environmental landmarks are sparse but significant, including the Morning Star Ch and McGill Lake. Near the southern border, prominent Sand Dunes edge the river valley, providing a distinct contrast to the creek-fed uplands to the north.
