Newkirk, the county seat of Kay County, serves as the primary hub on this Oklahoma-Kansas border landscape. The town plan is clearly defined, anchored by the Kay County Courthouse and flanked by the Newkirk Cemetery and Washunga Cemetery. To the north, the historic Chilocco area is marked by the presence of the Chilocco Indian Cemetery near the headwaters of Chilocco Creek, indicating the deep indigenous and institutional history of this borderland. The terrain is a network of agricultural sections drained by watercourses like Bois d'Arc Creek and Spring Creek, with the small settlement of Middleton situated on the western edge of the quadrangle. The grid of section roads and the transition into Cowley County, Kansas, reflect the late-era development of this prairie region.
