About this map

Piedmont serves as the primary focal point in this 2009 landscape, where expanding residential grids meet a sophisticated system of rural water management. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of flood control structures and reservoirs, including the Cottonwood Creek Site 15 Reservoir and Cypert 209 Reservoir. These features, alongside numerous named dams like the Rush Creek Site 24 Dam, illustrate a heavily engineered watershed designed to manage the flow of Wolf Creek and Soldier Creek through the prairie.

Evidence of the region's industrial and local history is found in the West Edmond Oil and Gas Field to the northeast and the preserved grounds of the Lockridge Cemetery and Kansas Cemetery. The map documents the transition of this area from traditional agricultural use toward suburban development, with named roads such as W Simmons Rd and N Piedmont Rd providing the framework for ongoing growth while the creek beds of Deer Creek and Walnut Creek maintain their natural winding courses.
