About this map

The Osage County hills come into sharp focus in this 2016 survey, where the small settlement of Herd sits near the headwaters of Mission Cr. The map details a complex landscape of creek drainages and ranch roads, including Bigheart and the historic Moore Cem located in the northeast corner. This territory is characterized by its numerous small water bodies, such as Deer Lake, Sunset Lake, and Lookout Lake, which are often tied to the local topography of ridges and hollows.

Prominent landforms like Twin Mounds and the Dry Hollow drainage provide distinct landmarks for navigating the area southwest of Herd. To the south, the terrain descends toward Rock Creek and Horseshoe Bend, where Bartlesville Rd serves as a primary arterial connector. This map serves as an essential record for those studying the 21st-century rural infrastructure and family-named landmarks of this portion of northern Oklahoma.
