About this map

Meeker anchors the southern edge of this Central Oklahoma landscape, where the town's development meets a complex system of watershed management and agricultural drainage. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Kickapoo Creek and Wildhorse Creek, which flow toward a series of managed impoundments. The map documents a significant number of flood control structures, including Quapaw Creek Site 35 Reservoir and Quapaw Creek Site 16 Reservoir, which have reshaped the local hydrology from its original prairie watercourses.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing community landmarks such as Forest Cemetery in the northeast and Saint Paul Cemetery situated near Coon Creek. These sites, along with the section-line road network including e1000 RD and n3410 RD, show how the rural settlement pattern of Lincoln County persisted into the early 21st century even as water management projects altered the surrounding valley floors.
