About this map

Tonkawa sits at the heart of this Kay County landscape, where the Salt Fork Arkansas River winds through the southern reaches of the region. The map reveals a community defined by its educational and tribal identity, prominently featuring Northern Oklahoma College and the Tonkawa Tribal Housing area. Just north of the main settlement, the Tonkawa Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and Tonkawa Cem provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing local family histories in northern Oklahoma.

Transportation and hydrology shape the surrounding territory, with the Blackwell-Tonkawa Municipal Airport situated in the northwest and various tributaries like Stink Cr and Birds Nest Cr feeding into the river system. The presence of the small settlement of Tyner to the north, along with a grid of rural roads such as W Prospect Ave and W Hartford Ave, illustrates the persistent agricultural and residential patterns of this prairie landscape.
