About this map

Canton Lake serves as a central landmark in this 1980s-era map of Major County and its surroundings, where the North Canadian River flows through the Canton State Wildlife Management Area. The landscape is defined by the stark geography of the Glass Mountains and Lone Mtn, contrasted with the productive valleys of the Cimarron River and Cottonwood Creek. The distribution of small towns like Cheyenne Valley, Cedar Springs, and Bouse Junction reflects the agrarian settlement patterns of the Oklahoma plains.

Industrial and transport corridors are clearly etched across the terrain, including the tracks of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Burlington Northern railroads. These rail lines connect regional hubs such as Okeene, Fairview, and Lahoma, facilitating the movement of goods from local quarries. Numerous smaller drainages, including Griever Creek and Salt Creek, create a complex network of creeks that once supported the early homesteads of Major County.
