About this map

Delaware and Lenapah anchor this northern Oklahoma landscape where the agricultural grid meets the winding drainages of the Verdigris River watershed. The terrain is defined by the meandering course of California Creek and its many branches, including Little California Cr, which cut through the rolling prairies of Nowata County. Significant local landmarks include Glenn Webster Reservoir in the north and the prominent elevation of Cedar Bluff near the southern margin.

For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific points of interest such as Mount Washington Cem and Bezoin Cem, alongside the small settlement of Ruthdale. The infrastructure reflects a deeply rooted rural economy, visible in the network of county roads like Lenapah Rd and the presence of Elevator St and Cereal St within the town limits of Delaware, highlighting the area's historical connection to grain production and transport.
