About this map

Red Rock Canyon State Park dominates the central landscape of this western Oklahoma region, cutting a distinct path through the townships of Waconda and Cedar. The town of Hinton serves as the primary hub, situated near the Hinton-Red Rock Airport and an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to the area's former transit links. The terrain is defined by the sharp descent into canyons, most notably where Canyon Creek and Kickapoo Creek flow toward the southern boundaries.

Genealogists will find a significant density of rural burial sites, including Hinton Cem, Sacred Heart Cem, Constien Cem, and St Johns Cem. These sites, along with landmarks like Canyon Camp and Zobisch Lake, provide a detailed look at the local community structure as it existed in the late 1970s. The map also documents the energy infrastructure of the era, noting numerous gas wells and a major pipeline traversing the southern townships.
