2009 Map of Porcupine Butte

About this map

The North Canadian River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, its serpentine channel creating a stark contrast to the rigid section-line road grid that defines the Oklahoma interior. North of the river’s floodplain, the terrain rises toward Porcupine Butte, a distinct elevation that overlooks a patchwork of agricultural lands and rural homesteads. This early 21st-century survey illustrates the organized expansion of rural infrastructure, where named thoroughfares like N Walbaum Rd and N Red Rat Rd provide access to the interior sections. Water management is evident through features such as Oknoname 9 Lake, held by the Oknoname 017009 Dam. The road network, including major routes like Edmond Rd NW, shows the transition from simple section tracks to a more developed rural grid system supporting the modern ranching and farming operations in Canadian County.
