1969 Map of Woodward SW

About this map

Jefferson and Woodward townships define this prairie landscape in the late 1960s, a period marked by extensive energy infrastructure and rural land management. The terrain is bisected by a prominent Pipeline that cuts across the section lines, reflecting the region's mid-century petroleum development. Numerous Gas Wells and a Drill Hole are scattered throughout the drainage basins of Indian Creek and North Persimmon Creek, showing the density of mineral extraction during this era. Local history is anchored by a rural Cem located near the center of the survey, providing a focal point for genealogical research in these sparsely populated townships. The industrial footprint also includes a Caliche Pit, used for local road surfacing, which highlights the practical needs of maintaining a network of section roads across this open Oklahoma country.
