2022 Map of Pawhuska

About this map

The tribal and civic seat of Pawhuska is the central focus of this 2022 survey, showing the density of Osage County's government and cultural landscape. The Osage County Courthouse stands as a primary landmark within the grid of streets like Wakon Iron Blvd and E Main St. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dendritic network of waterways, including the winding Bird Creek and its many tributaries such as Sand Creek and Middle Bird Cr. Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds on the outskirts of the town, from the large Pawhuska City Cem to the more outlying Lookout Cem and Strikeaxe Cem. The landscape reflects a mix of modern infrastructure and traditional land divisions, with the Public Land Survey System grids of t26n r9e and t25n r9e providing a framework for the rural roads and creek crossings that characterize this part of the Oklahoma prairie.
