About this map

The North Canadian River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, anchoring a region defined by agricultural field lines and small rural hubs. To the north of the river, Darlington and the corporate boundary of Calumet mark the transition from river valley to the higher plains. Local landmarks such as The Mound and a nearby Landing Field provide orientation in this open terrain, which was mapped by the Geological Survey using aerial photography from the mid-1970s.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several important sites across the Kingfisher and Canadian County line. The Canadian Valley Cem and Olivet Ch serve as central points for early family research, while the presence of a Gypsum Pit and several Gas Wells indicate the extraction industries active during this era. The rural settlement of Altona sits in the northwest, connected to the larger community of El Reno by a network of county roads.
