2012 Map of Aledo

About this map

The Canadian River cuts across the northern reaches of this Oklahoma landscape, defining the northern border of a region shaped by agricultural planning and water management. Central to the area is the settlement of Burmah, while the community of Aledo sits near the western edge. The terrain is notably marked by an extensive series of flood control structures, including Barnitz Cr Site 11 Reservoir, Barnitz Cr Site 13 Reservoir, and Barnitz Cr Site 25 Reservoir, which dot the tributaries of E Barnitz Cr. These reservoirs reflect a mid-to-late 20th-century effort to stabilize the watershed for local farming. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Prairie Bell Cem in the north and Elm Cem near the southern boundary provides important points of reference for tracing family lineages within this rural Dewey County township.
