2018 Map of Porcupine Butte

About this map

Porcupine Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this corner of the Oklahoma prairie, where the boundaries of Canadian, Kingfisher, and Blaine counties converge. The southern portion of the landscape is defined by the winding course of the N Canadian River, which creates a complex network of wetlands and shifting channels. This area preserves a traditional section-line road grid, with thoroughfares like Edmond Rd NW and N Walbaum Rd providing access to the agricultural parcels that dominate the terrain. Genealogists may find particular interest in the location of Salem Cem in the northeast, a quiet site established near the intersection of 248th St NW and N Red Rock Rd. The map illustrates the sparsely populated nature of the region in the late 2010s, showing a landscape still primarily dedicated to farming and ranching away from major urban centers.
