About this map

The boundary between Major and Blaine Counties cuts through this landscape of the High Plains, where the small settlement of Homestead serves as a local anchor. The region is defined by a grid of rural roads, including S Main St and E0590 Rd, which connect the scattered agricultural homesteads. Water is scarce but essential, with the courses of Sand Cr, Deep Cr, and Elm Cr carving subtle drainage patterns across the terrain.

Genealogists will find this 2016 survey particularly valuable for its documentation of local burial grounds. Four distinct cemeteries are preserved here: Cedar Cem, Mennonite Cem, Plymouth Cem, and Homestead Cem. The presence of these sites, alongside the legacy of the Mennonite community, provides a tangible link to the early pioneer families who settled this portion of Oklahoma north of the Canadian River.
