About this map

Barnsdall serves as the primary hub in this Osage County landscape, where the street grid of Oak Ave and Cedar Ave meets the winding path of Bird Creek. The area is notably dense with small family and community burial grounds, including the James Bigheart Cem and Reece Cem, which offer significant touchpoints for genealogical research. To the south, the expansion of Birch Lake and Lake Acc has reshaped the local topography around Birch Creek, creating a large reservoir system that dominates the lower half of the quadrangle.

Smaller settlements like Nelagoney, Tallant, and Gilland are linked by a network of county roads such as Co RD 2420 and Co RD 2470. The terrain is defined by a series of named drainages like Cochahee Cr, Red Eagle Br, and Chateau Cr, which carve through the Oklahoma hills. These watercourses and the surrounding reservoir infrastructure illustrate the mid-to-late 20th-century water management efforts common in this region.
