About this map

The Arkansas River defines the southern boundary of this landscape, winding through a series of sharp bends that separate the terrain of Osage Co and Pawnee Co. This rural region is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including the namesake Bug Creek and Sycamore Cr, which carve through the elevations before meeting the river. The map reveals a high concentration of county roads, such as Co RD 5320 and Blackburn-Skedee Rd, which provide access to the upland pastures and small valleys.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific locations of Whitehorn Cem and Morrel Cem, two family or community burial grounds situated near the intersection of several local routes. These landmarks, along with the numerous named creeks like Harper Cr, offer a detailed view of the area's rural development and land use patterns as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
