About this map

Bison sits at the heart of this North Central Oklahoma landscape, where the prairie is etched by a complex network of waterways. The drainage patterns are defined by the winding paths of Turkey Cr and the descriptively named Hell and Gone Cr, which snake through the agricultural grid. To the south, the boundary between Garfield Co and Kingfisher Co bisects the terrain, marking a political division across the rolling plains.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as Hope Cem and Hennessey Cem, which anchor the rural community. The map also records the location of Buffalo Springs and several seasonal watercourses like Buffalo Cr and Little Turkey Cr. The intersection of regional transit and local life is captured through the dense network of section line roads, including Lucien Rd and N2870 Rd, which facilitate movement between these scattered settlements and cemeteries.
