About this map

Bado stands as a primary point of reference in this rural landscape within Major County, where the plains give way to the complex hydrology of the North Canadian River valley. The map reveals a land structured by the Public Land Survey System, with an orderly grid of roads like Indian Rd and Dane Field Rd sectioning the terrain. A notable geographic transition occurs as the northern creek drainage of Cheyenne Cr leads south toward the significant waters of Canton Lake.

Family history researchers will find the location of the Fern Cliff Cem centrally located within Township 20 North, Range 14 West. The river bottom land is characterized by distinctive features such as Red Bluff Cutoff Lake, illustrating the shifting course of the waterway before it reaches the reservoir. This 2018 survey provides a modern view of the enduring boundaries where Major, Dewey, and Blaine counties converge.
