About this map

The Big Blue River defines the western landscape of this Marshall County quadrangle, where the small settlement of Oketo sits on its eastern bank. A network of rural roads, including Cherokee Rd and Bison Rd, connects the town to nearby Marietta and the surrounding farmland. The area is heavily marked by a dense drainage system of prairie creeks, such as N Elm Cr, Bommer Cr, and Mission Cr, which carve through the terrain as they flow toward the primary river valley.

Local history is anchored by sites like Oketo Cem just outside of town and North Elm Cem to the southeast. The street grid of Oketo remains centered on Center St, illustrating a classic Midwestern town layout. This 2015 survey provides a contemporary view of these established communities and their relationship to the seasonal waterways that shaped the region's agricultural development, from Scotch Cr in the south to the northern boundaries near the state line.
