2018 Map of Orion

About this map

The North Canadian River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, forming a natural divide between Major Co and Dewey Co. The settlement of Orion sits just north of the county line, centered near the intersection of several section-line roads. This area of Oklahoma reflects a rural agricultural grid pattern established by the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by the numerous township and range designations such as t20n r15w. Local genealogy and family history are tied to small community centers like Orion Cem and Hope Cem, which remain as fixed landmarks amidst the open land. Modern infrastructure is represented by a well-defined network of local roads including Indian Rd and e0610 RD, which follow the traditional square-mile section boundaries.
