About this map

The Arkansas River winds through the heart of this landscape, carving a deep boundary between Osage and Noble counties. The terrain is defined by the sharp contrasts of the Badlands, where a network of seasonal drainages like Prettyhair Cr and Simpkins Cr feed into the river valley. This is a region of quiet rural infrastructure, where long straight roads such as 9 Mile Rd and Indian Hills Rd cut across the section lines of the Public Land Survey System.

Local history is anchored by the Bressie Cem and Pixley Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists tracing the early residents of this river-bend country. In the southern reach, the area known as Big Bend highlights the dramatic shift in the river's course. Smaller tributaries including Little Drum Creek and Big Drum Cr cross the northern plains, while the curious label Cowboy hints at the ranching heritage of the Oklahoma prairie.
