About this map

The Salt Fork Arkansas River carves a braided path across this northern Oklahoma landscape, where the flat plains of Grant County meet a network of seasonal watercourses. The river is joined by Coldwater Creek near the center of the sheet, creating a complex drainage system that defines the local topography. This area is characterized by its rigid sectional grid of rural routes, such as Ellis Rd and Dewey Rd, which connect isolated homesteads and family landmarks. Cultural history is anchored by the Friends Cem and Mount Zion Cem, which serve as physical ties to the early farming communities that settled this prairie. Infrastructure like the Hixson Bridge provides a rare crossing point over the wider river channel, illustrating the challenges of travel across the watershed in this rural agricultural corridor.
