About this map

Barnsdall serves as the central hub of this Osage County landscape, situated where the terrain begins to break into the drainage systems of Bird Creek and Chateau Creek. The town's layout is clearly defined by its street grid, including W Chestnut Ave and Oak Ave, while the surrounding hills are dotted with several small burial grounds that provide a clear look at local family history and settlement patterns. These include the Barnsdall City Cem, Reece Cem, and the James Bigheart Cem located just south of the main township.

To the south, the waters of Birch Reservoir dominate the geography, flanked by Gilland and Birch Cove Rd. The northern reaches of the map show the smaller communities of Tallant and Nelagoney, connected by a network of county roads like Co Rd 2511 and Co Rd 2431. The intricate creek systems, such as Cochahee Cr and Dog Thresher Creek, illustrate the complex drainage that characterizes this portion of the Oklahoma hills.
