2016 Map of Canute

About this map

Canute and the eastern edge of Elk City define this western Oklahoma landscape, where the legacy of the mother road and local agriculture intersect. The path of Old US Hwy 66 remains a prominent fixture, running parallel to the modern interstate and the street grid of Canute, which includes local thoroughfares like Scheidel Ave and Broadway. The terrain is shaped by a series of water management projects, including Soldier Cr-Watershed Site 5 Reservoir and Soldier Cr Watershed Site 3 Reservoir, which provide essential catchments for the drainages of Oak Creek and Turkey Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of three distinct burial grounds: Holy Family Cem, Edwardsville Cem, and Hebron Cem, each serving as a anchor for the rural communities spanning the borders of Beckham, Custer, and Washita counties.
