About this map

Orlando and Mulhall anchor this rural landscape along the boundary of Logan and Payne Counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Cimarron River in the south, which is joined by Antelope Creek as it moves through the prairie. Further north, the drainage network of Clear Creek and Beaver Creek creates a complex series of draws and ridges, dictating the placement of early section-line roads like Major Rd and Pleasant Valley Road.

Family history is preserved at the Morris Heights Cemetery near Orlando and the Clarkson Cemetery to the southeast. The map reveals the late-20th-century transportation grid, where Interstate 35 cuts a modern path across the traditional section lines of the Cherokee Outlet. This survey captures the rural character of the region, showing how long-established agrarian settlements transitioned into the modern era while maintaining their traditional landmarks and water-dependent geography.
