About this map

Foraker sits at the northern edge of this high-plains landscape, situated along Midland Ave in the tallgrass prairie region of Osage County. This 2016 survey shows the town's grid and its relationship to the surrounding drainage networks that define the local topography. To the northeast lies the Foraker Cem, a vital site for family historians and genealogists researching the residents of this ranching community.

The area is dissected by numerous winding waterways, including Salt Creek, Potato Creek, and Middle Bird Creek, which carve through the undulating terrain. A network of rural routes, such as Foraker Road and County Road 4300, provides access to the expansive agricultural lands. The map details how the headwaters of North Bird Creek and Dugout Creek navigate the subtle elevations of the Oklahoma prairie just south of the Kansas border.
