About this map

Seneca occupies the intersection of several county and state lines, sitting at the junction of the Ottawa Co Newton Co border where Oklahoma meets Missouri. The landscape is defined by the drainages of Lost Cr and Sycamore Cr, which carve through the terrain to the north and south of the town center. The settlement patterns follow these watercourses and the local road network, with residential clusters at Westview and the crossroads at Dessa.

Family history is preserved in several key locations, including Seneca Cemetery near the Oklahoma line and Graves Cemetery to the east. The map captures the specialized water management infrastructure of the era, such as Structure F-1 Reservoir and Structure F-2 Reservoir. Farther south, the terrain descends into Mason Springs Valley and toward the drainage of Buffalo Cr near the settlement of May. This survey documents a rural landscape where traditional agricultural land use meets the expanding footprints of small border communities.
