About this map

Kaw Lake dominates the southern reaches of this landscape along the border of Kay County, Oklahoma, and Kansas. The Arkansas River serves as the primary hydrological artery, winding southward past Traders Bend Cove into the reservoir's expanse. The surrounding terrain is dissected by numerous tributaries, including Chilocco Creek, Sweetwater Creek, and Osage Creek, which drain the elevated plains into the river valley. Evidence of long-standing community landmarks remains visible in the placement of the Cooper Cem near the river's eastern bluffs. Smaller impoundments like Newkirk Lake and a structured grid of rural routes, such as E Bender Road and N Silverdale Lane, illustrate the intersection of local water management and established land partitions in this borderland region.
