About this map

Black Bear Creek and its many tributaries define this Noble County landscape, revealing an extensive system of flood control and water management. The area is marked by numerous engineered structures, such as Upper Black Bear Creek Site 23 Dam and the Oknoname 103007 Reservoir, which punctuate the drainage basins of Panther Creek and Turkey Creek. This network of reservoirs and dams illustrates the mid-to-late 20th-century approach to managing Oklahoma's prairie watersheds.

For those researching family history, the map provides precise locations for the Sample Cemetery in the western section and McGuire Cemetery further south. The terrain is organized by a strict section-line road grid, including e0480 RD and n3130 RD, typical of the regional township and range system. Significant water features like West Warren Creek and East Warren Creek highlight the natural pathways that dictated early settlement and land use before the modern reservoir projects altered the flow.
