About this map

Pawhuska serves as the focal point of this Osage County study, where a dense street grid intersects a complex drainage network. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Bird Creek, which receives numerous tributaries including Soldier Cr, Rush Cr, and Clear Creek. The town's layout is meticulously detailed, showing a transition from the central business district to peripheral residential streets and the City Cem. This 2016 record captures the modern infrastructure of the region, including the crossing of Bartlesville Rd and the prominent north-south corridor of Oklahoma State Highway 99.

Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of local burial grounds such as Strikeaxe Cem and Lookout Cem, which sit atop the hills overlooking the Buffalo Cr and Sand Creek valleys. The survey illustrates how the region's topography, marked by sharp ridges and deep creek beds, has influenced the development of the rural road network, from Co Rd 4070 to the more remote stretches of Co Rd 5101.
