About this map

Capron stands as the primary settlement on this northern Oklahoma borderland, situated just south of the Kansas Oklahoma state line. The town's layout is defined by a grid including Grant St, providing a clear point of reference for genealogists tracking families in Woods County and Alfalfa County. North of the town center lies the Capron Cem, a vital site for local history research.

The landscape is etched by a network of drainage systems, most notably Driftwood Cr and its tributary Little Driftwood Cr, which meander across the prairie. The map details a transition from the structured section-line road network, such as Osage Rd and Noble Rd, to the more irregular terrain carved by Little Mule Cr and Dry Cr. This juxtaposition illustrates the persistent influence of hydrology on the development and transport patterns of the southern plains.
