2022 Map of Hayrick Mound

About this map

Hayrick Mound rises as a distinct topographical landmark above the plains of Oklahoma and Kansas, marking the divide where northern Oklahoma meets the southern border of Kansas. This landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous waterways, including Brush Cr and Rock Cr, which carve shallow valleys through a grid of rural county roads. The settlement pattern remains sparse and agricultural, centered on the intersection of the Nowata and Craig county lines. Traces of early families and rural communities are preserved at Lain Cem and Plainview Cem, while the modern ranching economy is represented by the Big Creek Ranch Airstrip. The map illustrates a highly organized township and range system, where section lines dictate the path of routes like N4210 Rd across the undulating terrain.
