About this map

The Arkansas River defines the northwestern boundary of this Pawnee County landscape, where the rural settlement of Masham serves as a local anchor. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the south-flowing Mud Cr and the winding path of Skedee Cr, which feeds into significant water management features like the Lower Black Bear Creek Site 4 Reservoir. These reservoirs and small lakes like Feaster Lake indicate a landscape shaped by mid-century water conservation and agricultural management efforts.

Local history is preserved at the Masham Cem and Hopewell Cem, which provide valuable touchstones for genealogical research in this part of Oklahoma. The southern portion of the map transitions toward more developed infrastructure near the Pawnee Municipal Airport, connected to the wider region by the Blackburn-Skedee Rd. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the area, where section-line roads like N3460 Rd grid the landscape between the river bluffs and the creek bottoms.
