About this map

The county boundary between Nowata Co and Craig Co bisects this Oklahoma landscape, where the prairie topography is defined by the Coker Hills and a dense network of watercourses. Small family and community landmarks like McMains Cem and Madden Cem are preserved here, tucked between the section-line roads and the winding paths of Lightning Creek and its tributaries. The drainage patterns of Madden Cr, Salt Cr, and Little Salt Cr reveal the natural contours of the land, which has been modified by the construction of the Spur Ranch Reservoir in the northeast. This area remains largely defined by its rural road grid and agricultural character, maintaining a spatial organization that has persisted through generations of local land use in the northeastern part of the state.
