1985 Map of Squaw Creek

About this map

The Canadian River winds through the southwestern corner of this Oklahoma landscape, defining the topography near the border of Blaine County. The 1980s terrain is heavily marked by energy exploration, with numerous Oil Wells and a Gas Well scattered across the uplands. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several rural burial grounds, including Whirlwind Cem, Emmanuel Cem, and Etna Cem, the latter situated near the Etna Ch. To the south, the landscape shifts toward recreation and conservation at American Horse Lake and the surrounding American Horse Lake State Hunting and Fishing Area. Tributaries such as Bear Creek and Squaw Creek drain the surrounding heights, which are identified by family or regional names like Kennedy, Dixon, and Logan.
