About this map

The Walnut River meanders southward through this section of Cowley County, anchoring a landscape defined by its agricultural grid and winding tributaries. The small settlement of Akron is situated near the river's eastern bend, while the community of Kellogg occupies the southwest, just west of Spring Cr. This area preserves several localized landmarks of interest to genealogists, including Akron Cem and Mount Vernon Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the region's rural development.

Evidence of historical land divisions is visible in the northern section marked Cherokee Strip, referencing the significant 19th-century land tract. Transportation and infrastructure are characterized by the Oxford Municipal Airport and a network of section-line roads like 82nd RD and 142nd RD. The topography is shaped by several named drainages, such as Turkey Gulch, Little Dutch Cr, and Lone Elm Cr, which illustrate the natural drainage patterns that have influenced farmstead placement for generations.
