About this map

Criner sits at the center of this Oklahoma landscape, where the waters of Wildcat Cr and N Criner Cr converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries feeding into Criner Creek, creating a series of north-south ridges and valleys that have shaped local settlement. To the west, the community of Dibble is situated near the upper reaches of Bear Cr, while the small settlement of Payne occupies the southeastern corner of the quadrangle.

A strictly organized grid of section lines and local roads, such as May Ave and Western Ave, provides access across the hills. These routes connect rural homesteads and subdivisions like Macarthur Oaks Dr and Basingstoke Dr to the older crossroads. The map documents the persistent agricultural character of McClain County, where geographic features like Finn Cr and Panther Cr remain the primary landmarks for local residents and genealogists tracing family land holdings.
