2016 Map of Hennepin

About this map

Hennepin and Katie anchor this Southern Oklahoma landscape, where the northern fringes of the Arbuckle Mountains meet a complex network of water management sites. The terrain is defined by the east-flowing Wildhorse Cr and its numerous tributaries, including Sandy Cr, Rock Cr, and Fivemile Cr. This 2016 survey documents a modern rural environment heavily modified by a series of numbered flood control structures, such as Wildhorse Creek Site 115 Reservoir and Wildhorse Creek Site 78 Reservoir, which dot the drainages between the small settlements. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including Sweet Home Cem, Katie Cem, and Fivemile Creek Cem, while landmarks like Calvin Pickens mark the transition from the rolling hills to more level ranching or agricultural lands. The map also traces the jurisdictional boundary where Garvin and Carter counties meet.
