About this map

Dibble and the small settlement of Criner anchor this section of McClain County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of creek drainages. The topography is shaped by the winding courses of Criner Creek and its tributaries, including North Criner Creek and Wildcat Creek, which carve through the central terrain. To the south and east, the map reveals the reaches of Wolf Creek and Finn Creek, illustrating the complex local hydrology that influenced the area's development and road layout.

Agricultural sections are neatly partitioned by a grid of named local routes like Meridian Ave and May Ave, while smaller roads like Finn Ridge Rd and Bear Creek Rd trace the higher ground between watercourses. This survey provides a precise look at the rural character of the region, from the dispersed homes near Payne to the crossing at 180th St, showing how modern infrastructure follows the ancient paths of the prairie watersheds.
