About this map

The Walnut River carves a winding path through this Cowley County landscape, dictating the placement of early settlements and road networks. The small community of Akron is situated near the confluence of Little Dutch Cr and the river, while the hamlet of Dale sits further west along the banks of Crooked Cr. This survey highlights the region's agricultural and transit roots, evidenced by a dense grid of section roads like 92nd Rd and Co Rd 18.

Genealogical interest is found at the Akron Cem and Mount Vernon Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the area's pioneer families. In the western portion of the map, the Oxford Municipal Airport and the designated Cherokee Strip land indicate modern infrastructure and historical land-run legacies existing side-by-side. The terrain is further defined by drainage features such as Turkey Gulch and Lone Elm Cr, which break the plateau before reaching the river valley.
