2012 Map of Canton

About this map

The North Canadian River valley and the expansive waters of Canton Lake define this western Oklahoma landscape. The town of Canton serves as the local hub, situated just south of the lake’s massive dam. This region carries deep cultural roots, evidenced by several specialized burial grounds such as the Cantonment Reinterment Cem and the Indian Mennonite Cem northwest of town. The map provides a detailed view of the grid-patterned township roads that intersect the prairie, including the crossing of Santa Fe RD. Further south, the rural settlement areas of Carleton and Carlton appear along the river's meandering course, while smaller tributaries like Minnehaha Cr wind through the surrounding plains. The clustering of sites like the Zion Mennonite Indian Cem reflects the area's specific heritage at the intersection of local industry and tribal history.
