About this map

Renfrow sits at a crossroads in north-central Oklahoma, anchored by a sparse but deliberate network of section roads that define the agricultural landscape. The terrain is carved by the winding paths of Wolf Cr and Polecat Cr, which drain toward the south and east. These watercourses, along with Bullwacker Cr, created the subtle breaks in the prairie that early settlers navigated when establishing farmsteads.

Genealogical interest is centered on the Richland Cem, a lone landmark in the southern half of the quadrangle. The map illustrates the persistent structure of rural life, where local transit relied on corridors like Renfrow Rd and Wakita Rd. This layout reveals how the original land survey system dictated the placement of every homestead and field, maintaining a rigid geometry even as the natural drainage of Elm Cr provides a curving contrast to the surrounding grid.
