2009 Map of Sand Creek

About this map

Salt Fork Arkansas River sweeps through the southwest corner of this northern Oklahoma landscape, defining the hydrology of a region dominated by a precise section-line road grid. The terrain is shaped by the southward flow of Sand Creek and its tributary Crooked Creek, which meander through the agricultural plains of Grant County. While the physical settlements are sparse, the map preserves the locations of local landmarks vital to genealogical research, such as Hawley Cemetery in the southeast and Fairview Cemetery near the northern boundary. Centered along Oklahoma State Hwy 132, the map illustrates a rural environment where modern infrastructure, including numerous county roads like E0150 Rd and N2770 Rd, maintains the traditional land divisions established during the state's early development.
