About this map

The Osage County seat of Pawhuska serves as the focal point of this 2009 survey, appearing at a time when the community's traditional layout met modern infrastructure. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding course of Bird Creek and its many tributaries such as Soldier Creek, Rush Creek, and Mud Creek. These streams are punctuated by several numbered water control structures, including Oknoname 113111 Dam and Oknoname 113029 Dam, which manage the region's drainage.

Local history is grounded in sites like Lookout Cemetery to the east, while the road network shows the evolution of local transit from Old Hwy 11 to residential arteries like Skyline Dr and Palmer Ave. The surrounding terrain transitions from the settled streets of the town center to the outlying drainages of Quapaw Creek and Buffalo Creek, illustrating the intersection of Oklahoma's prairie hydrology and municipal development.
