2009 Map of Cherokee South

About this map

The agrarian landscape south of Cherokee, Oklahoma, is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems feeding into Clay Creek. This territory, mapped by the U.S. Geological Survey, illustrates the structured section-line road grid typical of the Great Plains, where routes like e0210 RD and n2640 RD partition the land for agricultural production. The hydrology of the region is notably complex, with the branching of West Clay Creek and East Clay Creek creating a winding pattern across the terrain. Farther north, the map shows Lambert Creek and Cottonwood Creek as they traverse the northern sections, while Spring Creek appears along the eastern edge. These watercourses are vital landmarks in a region where the intersection of natural creek beds and rigid roadway engineering dictates the local geography and land use patterns.
