2016 Map of Canton SW

About this map

Fountain Cem is a central landmark in this landscape defined by the section-line road network of northwestern Oklahoma. Situated near the intersection of N2400 Rd and E0680 Rd, the cemetery serves as a vital anchor for genealogists and local historians tracing family lineages in this rural township. The terrain is marked by the winding course of Minnehaha Cr, which cuts through the southeastern portion of the map, providing a natural break in the otherwise rigid agricultural grid. The boundary between Dewey Co and Blaine Co runs along the western and eastern margins, illustrating the administrative divisions that shaped early settlement and property lines. This topographical survey captures the area's transition from early pioneer homesteading to a mature agricultural landscape, where the naming of rural routes like E0620 Rd and N2450 Rd reflects modern rural addressing systems laid over historical land patterns.
