About this map

The North Canadian River meanders through the northwest corner of this Oklahoma landscape, defining the topography near the settlement of Woodward. In the late 1960s, the area served as a vital transportation hub, marked by the junction of the Missouri - Kansas - Texas and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads. An Old Railroad Grade sits near Gerlach, hinting at earlier transit patterns across the plains.

Community life centers on the urban core of Woodward, where numerous educational institutions like Highland Park Sch and Westwood Sch are established alongside the Kansas Hospital. Local landmarks include Field Station Lake and the Fairground on the southeastern edge of town. For genealogists, the map identifies Elmwood Cemetery and the more distant Prairie View Cem, providing essential markers of local family history during this era of post-war development.
