About this map

The rolling prairies along the Washington and Nowata county line are defined by a complex network of waterways and subtle topographic landmarks. The map’s namesake, Blue Mound, stands as a prominent elevation point overlooking the surrounding drainage basins. To its south, the distinctive Limestone Draw cuts through the landscape, feeding into a dense system of creeks that historically shaped the ranching and agricultural potential of this region.

Water is the dominant feature of this terrain, with Hogshooter Cr and Cedar Cr meandering across the central sections. In the northern reaches, Little California Cr and Coon Cr drain the high ground, while the southern border is marked by the headwaters of Turkey Cr and Fish Cr. This 2022 survey illustrates the modern rural road grid, including Tuxedo Blvd and Durham Rd, which follow the section lines established by early township and range surveys.
