2016 Map of Hayrick Mound

About this map

Hayrick Mound stands as the primary topographic landmark in this borderland where the Kansas plains meet Oklahoma. This 2016 survey documents the rural agricultural character of the region, defined by a grid of section roads and a complex network of prairie streams. The landscape is deeply dissected by drainages including Rock Cr, Brush Cr, and Crow Hollow Cr, which dictate the placement of farms and transit corridors. For those researching local family history, the map identifies small, remote burial grounds such as Lain Cem and Plainview Cem, which often represent the only remaining markers of early farming communities. The southern edge of the map tracks the administrative boundary between Nowata Co and Craig Co, showing how the modern road network, including E 90 RD and E 0080 RD, continues to follow the historic township and range lines established over a century ago.
