2018 Map of Canute

About this map

Canute anchors the eastern edge of this western Oklahoma landscape, where the historic path of Old US Hwy 66 parallels the modern interstate. The town's layout is defined by a grid of named streets including Broadway, Scheidel Ave, and Edgewood. To the west, the outskirts of Elk City emerge across the county line, while the surrounding rural territory is marked by a network of drainage systems like Turkey Creek and Oak Creek. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the cluster of burial grounds near the town site, including Canute Cemetery, Edwardsville Cemetery, and Holy Family Cemetery. Further south, the Hebron Cemetery sits in a more isolated setting near Trail Creek, reflecting the dispersed settlement patterns of the Oklahoma plains. Managed water resources are evident through several named basins such as the Soldier Cr Watershed Site 3 Reservoir.
