About this map

Blue Mound serves as the namesake landmark for this portion of northeastern Oklahoma, situated along the border of Washington and Nowata counties. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, most notably the meandering Hogshooter Cr and Limestone Draw. These waterways dictate the local geography, carving through the terrain where cattle ranching and rural homesteads are connected by a rigid grid of section-line roads such as 4 Mile Rd and Durham Rd.

The survey reflects a modern rural landscape where traditional land divisions of the Public Land Survey System remain the primary structure for settlement. Water resources are plentiful throughout the area, with Cedar Cr, Little California Cr, and Post Oak Cr feeding into larger systems. The transition into the southern reaches of the quadrangle is marked by Tuxedo Blvd and Turkey Cr, signaling the northern outskirts of regional development while maintaining the area's predominantly pastoral character.
