About this map

Sycamore and its surrounding countryside in Delaware County are defined by a grid of rural roads and water management features. The landscape transitions from the open Wet Prairie in the east to the timbered drainage of Yellow Bird Hollow in the northwest. Local history is anchored by the Indianola Cemetery and Ward Cemetery, which serve as primary landmarks for genealogists tracing families in this corner of Oklahoma.

Water control is a prominent theme of this 2010 survey, illustrated by the Whitewater Creek Site 3 Reservoir and its associated infrastructure, including the Whitewater Creek Site 3 Dam and Whitewater Creek Site 2 Dam. These features, along with Brush Creek, reflect the region's focus on watershed management and agricultural sustainability. The map meticulously records the intersection of named township roads, such as E 417 RD, which connect the small community of Sycamore to the broader county network.
