About this map

The borderlands of Nowata and Craig counties are defined by a network of creeks and prairie uplands in this recent survey of northeastern Oklahoma. Lightning Creek and Madden Cr dominate the drainage pattern, cutting through a landscape primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System. The presence of several family or community burial grounds, including McMains Cem, Nix Cem, and Madden Cem, offers significant research value for genealogists tracing local lineage in this rural section. The topography is largely uniform, punctuated by the Coker Hills in the western portion and the Spur Ranch Reservoir to the north, reflecting the region's agricultural and ranching foundations.
