About this map

Bison serves as the primary hub of this north-central Oklahoma landscape, situated where the high plains meet the intricate drainage systems of the Cimarron River watershed. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal streams, including the uniquely named Hell and Gone Cr and Turkey Cr, which carve through the agricultural grid. These waterways, alongside Buffalo Cr and Dry Cr, illustrate the subtle topographic shifts that dictate the region's land use and local hydrology.

Genealogists and local historians can locate Hope Cem south of the main settlement near the Garfield Co Kingfisher Co border. The persistence of names like Buffalo Springs suggests the importance of natural water sources in this prairie environment. The map details the rigid section-line road system, such as n2840 RD and e0570 RD, which has organized these rural townships since their initial survey.
