McCasland Maps: Works Progress Administration, Nowata County, Oklahoma, sheet 7

In 1936, the WPA published maps of rural property ownership, one for each township in the state. This map shows Nowata and the area to the north. Of interest to railroad, interurban, and streetcar fans -- the map shows the route of the Union Electric Traction Company, an electric interurban line that connected Nowata to Coffeyville, Kansas until 1947.
