2016 Map of Lela

About this map

The community of Lela sits at the crossing of State Highway 64 and Co Rd 310, marking a central point in this prairie landscape of Pawnee Co and Noble Co. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Black Bear Cr and a series of flood-control reservoirs including Lower Black Bear Cr Site 14 Reservoir and Long Br Cr Site 11 Reservoir. For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites are documented across the rural landscape, including Lela Cem, Morrison Cem, and Union Cem. The Cimarron Tpke cuts diagonally through the western portion of the area, bypassing local landmarks like Knob Hill. Small named localities such as Rambo and a network of section-line roads, such as Diamond Valley and John Wayne, illustrate the persistent grid-based settlement pattern of north-central Oklahoma.
