2010 Map of Rhea

About this map

The Canadian River meanders along the northern edge of this Dewey County landscape, defining a terrain shaped by an extensive network of water management infrastructure. Numerous small reservoirs and dams, such as Barnitz Creek Site 114 Reservoir and Barnitz Creek Site 10 Reservoir, are distributed across the drainage basins of West Barnitz Creek and Dry Creek. This pattern of impoundments suggests a highly controlled agricultural watershed designed to mitigate erosion and manage runoff in the Oklahoma plains. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies key community landmarks including the German Cemetery in the southwest, the Center Point Cemetery toward the northeast, and the Osceola Cemetery near the southern boundary, providing essential anchors for genealogical study in this rural area.
