2016 Map of Newkirk SW

About this map

Grainville anchors this Kay County landscape, situated amidst a precise grid of rural roads and north-south section lines that define the agricultural character of north-central Oklahoma. The terrain is marked by a series of south-flowing drainages, including Lost Cr, Duck Cr, and the forks of W Cattle Cr and E Cattle Cr, which carve gentle relief into the prairie. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent importance of local landmarks for genealogy and local history, specifically the distribution of rural burial grounds such as Saint Johns Cem and Prairie Chapel Cem. The inclusion of the Indian Meridian TL highlights the historical surveying foundations of the region, while the Lost Duck Creeks Site D-1 Reservoir demonstrates modern water management within this traditional farming and ranching corridor.
