About this map

Kaw Lake dominates this north-central Oklahoma landscape, where the Arkansas River was impounded to create an expansive reservoir system. The modern settlement of Kaw City sits at the southern edge of this water complex, bordered by local landmarks like Grandview Cem. Across the water, the community of Washunga remains a focal point near Washunga Bay, reflecting the regional history of displaced townsites following the mid-20th-century reservoir construction.

To the east, the terrain transitions into the creek-carved uplands of the Kay and Osage County border. Small rural communities such as Soldani, Apperson, and Cooper are connected by a network of section-line roads like E Kildare Rd and Sarge Creek Rd. The presence of several smaller basins, including the numerically designated 071031 Reservoir and 071030 Reservoir, underscores the critical role of water management in this prairie landscape.
