About this map

The Canadian River meanders across this Hughes County landscape, defining the northern geography alongside its confluence with the Little River. In the early 21st century, the area around Atwood remains characterized by a network of rural section-line roads and numerous small-scale water management features. The prevalence of named private impoundments, such as the Jack Coppedge Dam, C H Black Dam, and Marvin Sells Dam, indicates a landscape heavily modified for local ranching or agricultural water storage.

Energy extraction is evident in the northern reaches of the quadrangle at the North Atwood Oil Field and the Pace Field to the east. For those tracing family history, the map provides precise locations for both the Atwood Cemetery and Calvin Cemetery. The terrain is further dissected by numerous named drainages, including Leader Creek, Wildcat Creek, and Dark Hollow Creek, which feed into the primary river systems.
