About this map

The Canadian River cuts through the northeastern corner of this western Oklahoma landscape, defining a terrain of deep creek beds and rising ridges. South of the Dewey and Custer County line, the section-line road network reveals a rural settlement pattern anchored by the town of Thomas. This area is marked by numerous watercourses flowing toward the river, including Yellow Bull Creek and One Horse Creek, which carve out the distinct topography of the region.

For researchers and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for local landmarks such as Bethel Cemetery and Forney Cemetery. The drainage patterns of Little Deer Creek and Eagleton Creek illustrate the natural hydrology that influenced early homesteading and land use across these two counties. The grid of local roads like E0810 Road and N2230 Road facilitates tracing family property lines and historical rural access points.
