2012 Map of Twin Mounds

About this map

The Cimarron River winds through this central Oklahoma landscape, cutting a wide path between the rural settlements of Twin Mounds and Amabel. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from the river bottomlands to the uplands, marked by significant local landmarks like Hog Hollow and several prominent drainage systems including Council Cr and Short Cr. For those researching local family histories, the map identifies a high concentration of burial grounds, including the Ingall Cem in the northwest and the clustered New Zion Cem and Fairlawn Cem to the southeast. The area around Dunkin Bridge and Dunkin Cem shows the intersection of the river and the established section-line road grid, while the community of Gano sits near the eastern edge. Cushing Lake and the various creeks feeding the Cimarron define the hydrology of this Payne County region.
