2022 Map of Canton SW

About this map

The boundary between Dewey Co and Blaine Co runs north-south through this section of the Oklahoma plains, dividing the landscape into a clear grid of section lines and rural routes. Near the center of the quadrangle, Fountain Cem serves as a significant local landmark for genealogists and researchers, marking a point of community history within the township grid. The terrain is defined by the headwaters and drainages of Minnehaha Cr, which cuts through the southern reaches of the map. The road network is exceptionally regular, following the Public Land Survey System with routes such as E0620 Rd, E0650 Rd, and N2420 Rd facilitating travel across the open prairie. This 2022 survey documents the persistent rural character of the region, where the intersection of county lines and local cemeteries provides the primary anchor for historical location work.
