About this map

The North Canadian River winds through the southern portion of this landscape, feeding into the prominent Horseshoe Lake. This area east of Oklahoma City shows a transition from structured rural grids to localized residential pockets and aviation interests at Mission Field. Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, with several tributaries such as Wildhorse Creek and Smith Creek controlled by infrastructure like Booher Dam and Wolf Ridge Dam, creating small reservoirs that dot the countryside.

For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are preserved across the quadrangle, including Mount Carmel Cemetery, Saint Marys Cemetery, and Mills Cemetery. These sites, along with the small settlement of Poole in the northwest, provide essential anchors for tracing family lineages in this part of Oklahoma. The roadway network is dominated by significant corridors like N Harrah Rd and the N Indian Meridian, which organize the homesteads and farms of the early 21st century.
