2009 Map of Isabella

About this map

The Cimarron River winds through the northeastern corner of this Oklahoma landscape, defining a sharp contrast to the rigid section-line road grid that dominates the rest of the region. The northern edge of Okeene appears at the southern margin, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with small, family and community burial grounds that offer significant value for genealogical research. These include Isabella Cemetery, Bierig Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery, and Collins Cemetery, which are spaced across the rural sections. The drainage system is defined by several seasonal waterways, including Deep Creek, Sand Creek, and Elm Creek, which cut across the surveyed townships. This map shows a deeply traditional Great Plains land use pattern, where the infrastructure of rural life is organized around a highly regular network of roads such as n2600 RD and e0540 RD.
