Photograph of a Breaks Range Site in or near Woodward, Oklahoma. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Rough, broken land, Breaks Range Site showing topography and vegetation."

Photograph of a Cimarron River tributary that has dissected the gypsum bedrock. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Tributary of the Cimarron River has dissected the gypsum bedrock. Notice the many directions that the bedrock is tilling as it is affected by this dissection. Where tributaries are relatively close, the gypsum rock is tilled in all directions which causes the breaking and heaping of the bedrock and the exposure of the underlain clay to water that eroded small caves, bridges, etc. Canyons are usually Vernon clay loam, 5 to 12% slope of the Shallow Range site. Foreground is Cottonwood-Vernon complex of the Gypsum Range Site."

Photograph of a severely gullied and eroded hill that came as the result of poor homesteading. The back of the photograph proclaims, “Intensity of homesteading contributed to the cultivation of land that was too steep and shallow. Consequently, many inches of high fertility topsoil were removed by sheet and gully erosion to be forever lost for man’s use. Such depletion of the land can only mean less intensive use, lower yields, and evidently a lower standard of living for the nation. Quinlan-Woodward loam, 5 to 12% slope. Shallow Range Site.“

Photograph of J. T. Porter kneeling next to a 50 year old rock house on Mr. (Lester) Davis' recently purchased farm. The back of the photograph proclaims, ""This rock house is 50 years old as indicated by the date (1909) carved in stone over the door. J. T. Porter in photo. It was occupied in 1939. Mr. Davis has recently purchased this farm."

Photograph of an UNIDENTIFIED man (P. L. Hutchison") using a Caterpillar D7 to construct a stock pond in accordance with GPCP plan. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Constructing stock pond in accordance with GPCP plan. Tractor owned by Hutchison."

Photograph of the intensity of homesteading contributed to the cultivation of land that wa too steep and shallow. Consequently, many inches of high fertility topsoil were removed by sheet and gully erosion to be forever lost for man's use. Such depletion of the land can only mean less intensive use, lower yields, and evidently a lower standard of living for the nation. Quinlan-Woodward loam, 5 to 12% slope. Shallow Range Site.

Photograph of an isolated remain of the geological formation that the Cimarron River and tributaries are eroding away. The rough broken land, Quinlan and Vernon material, occors on very steep slopes, while the clay outcrops, Vernon Material, occurs in the more level foreground. First Soil is the Breaks and the second the Shallow Range Sites.

Photograph of a cooperative effort in the county to combine roads with proper water distribution for livestock in the construction of dams in Woodward County SCD. This dam has the proper upstream slope as a comparison to OK-805-8.

Photograph of good residue with minimum of 6 inches sown feed stocks. If only lightly grazed, this cover is sufficient to combat wind erosion on these soils. Topography showing Pratt loamy fine sand hummocky phase in extreme foreground to the left center, and Carwile complex in the center and right. Deep Sandy Range Site.

Photograph of a UNIDENTIFED man on a Ferguson tractor with seed driller drilling native grass seed in excellent sorghum cover on CR land in accordance with GPCP plan. The back of the photograph proclaims, “Seeding Grass. Drilling native grass seed in excellent sorghum cover on CR land in accordance with GPCP plan.”

Photograph of “Rancher Jack Kelsey explaining how new diversion will provide additional water supply for stock pond.”

Photograph of "George Hamilton observing flow of water from new well built with GPCP assistance on his Big Dipper Ranch."

Photograph of good residue cover to protect soil from wind erosion. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Good residue with minimum of 6"sown feed stocks [sic]. If only lightly grazed, this cover is sufficient to combat wind erosion on these soils. Topography shows Pratt loamy fine sand hummocky phase in extreme background, Pratt loamy fine sand, billowy phase in extreme foreground to the left center, and Carville Complex in the center and right. This land is on a Deep Sandy Range Site."

Photograph of a shallow range site near Quinlan, Oklahoma. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Shallow Range Site near Quinlan, Oklahoma. The soils are primarily Quinlan 10sm 5 to 12% slopes with minor amounts of rough broken land and Woodward loam 5 to 8% slopes."

Photograph of numerous cattle roaming and grazing a wheat pasture, while a windmill stands in the background. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Wheat pasture on Canadian soils."

Photograph of land that is experiencing blow out for over 35 years. Sparse patches of Sorghum dot the area photographed. The original photograph sleeve proclaims, "This approximately 60 acres blow-out has been active for about 35 years. Notice Mr. Harmon has tried to establish sorghum cover but failed."

Photograph of rough, broken land Breaks Range Site showing topography and vegetation.

Photograph of a closeup of Little Bluestem grass. It was a major grass in the climax of many soils in the County. The quantity of certain soils helps the range man to determine the condition of the range.

Photograph of Shallow Range Site near Quinlan, Okla. The soils are primarily Qinlan loam 5 to 12% slopes with minor amounts of rough broken land and Woodward loam 5 to 8% slopes.
