About this map

The Canadian River meanders across this landscape, marking the natural boundary between McClain, Cleveland, and Pottawatomie counties. Small rural settlements like Rosedale and Corbett are central to the area's geography, connected by a network of gravel and local roads with evocative names such as Edge of the Earth Rd and Flat Armadillo Rd. This survey documents a quiet interior of central Oklahoma, where the landscape is defined more by its local cemeteries and water management than by heavy industry.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds, including Rosedale Cem and the Blue Branch Cem. The map also details numerous small-scale water projects, from Spores Lake in the north to the Owl Creek Site 11 Reservoir complex in the southwest. Tributaries like Buckhead Cr and Tomike Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the hydrological patterns of the Canadian River valley during this era.
