1972 Map of Hayrick Mound

About this map

Rock Creek and Brush Creek flow through this northeastern Oklahoma landscape along the border of Nowata and Craig Counties in the early 1970s. The area is defined by its rural community centers, notably the Wimer Community Ch and Pleasant View Ch, which served as anchors for the surrounding farmsteads. The topography is dominated by Hayrick Mound, a prominent elevation that rises above the drainage basins of Cedar Creek and Big Creek. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of local burial grounds such as Lain Cem and Plainview Cem. The map also captures the political geography of Snow Creek Twp, illustrating how early land divisions and township lines persisted into the late twentieth century near the Kansas state line.
