About this map

Larand anchors the northern reaches of this Jackson County landscape, an area defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems and water management. The terrain is characterized by its reliance on a complex series of engineered waterways, including the Oklahoma Ditch Number 1, Everhard and Baldwin Ditch, and Badger State Ditch, which divert water across the plains from the Illinois River and smaller streams like Soap Cr and Lost Cr.

Numerous man-made catchments dot the southern half of the map, notably the Mac Farlane Reservoir, Addison Reservoir, and Ridings Reservoir. These features, along with prominent landforms such as Peterson Ridge and Owl Ridge, reveal a managed agricultural and ranching environment. Local landmarks like Cape Horn and the seasonal flows through Friend Draw emphasize the specific geographic features utilized by residents for land navigation and water rights in this high-altitude basin.
