2016 Map of Canton

About this map

Canton Lake dominates the northwestern landscape of this region, serving as a primary water source and geographical anchor for the surrounding plains. The North Canadian River flows southeastward from the dam, winding through a network of section roads and agricultural lands. The town of Canton is situated near the center of the map, organized around a grid featuring W Pine St and N Grant Ave, while the smaller settlement of Carleton lies to the southeast. For local historians and genealogists, this survey is particularly valuable for its documentation of significant burial sites, including the Cantonment Reinterment Cem near the lake's edge, as well as the Canton Cem and Cherryvale Cem. These sites, along with the course of Minnehaha Cr, reflect the deep layering of settlement and natural history in this portion of Oklahoma.
