2016 Map of American Horse Lake

About this map

The Canadian River cuts a wide, braided path through this section of Blaine County, Oklahoma, defining a landscape where prairie plateaus meet deeply carved drainages. Family and community heritage is anchored by several burial sites, including Whirlwind Cem in the northwest and the cluster of Emmanuel Cem and Macedonia Cem near the eastern boundary. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the topography of American Horse Canyon, which feeds into the recreational and hydrologic center of American Horse Lake. This 2016 survey captures a rural environment structured by a precise grid of section roads, such as e0920 RD passing by Etna Cem. Water management is evident throughout the terrain, from the Nelson Burns Reservoir to smaller cattle tanks and the Groendyke Pond Number 1, reflecting the region's agricultural reliance on both seasonal creeks like Bear Cr and modern impoundments.
