2022 Map of Nanos

About this map

Nanos and the small settlement of Opah anchor this study of the northern Oklahoma landscape in Osage County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages, including Wild Hog Cr, Mud Cr, and Cedar Cr, which carve through the land between distinctive landmarks like the Twin Mounds. The survey captures the rural character of the region as it exists in the early 2020s, showing a transition from these natural watercourses to the straight-line grid of the Public Land Survey System, marked by designations such as t27n r9e. Local history and family heritage are preserved at the Pappin Cem, located near Sand Cr. The southern portion of the area is transacted by Bartlesville Rd, providing a key connection through the prairie and creek-cut valleys.
