About this map

The Cimarron River carves a broad, winding path through this portion of Payne County, anchoring a landscape shaped by creek drainage and early Oklahoma settlements. The terrain is defined by distinctive landmarks such as the Twin Mounds in the northeast and the recessed Hog Hollow further west. Small rural hubs like Ingalls, Amabel, and Gano are interconnected by a rigid grid of section roads, including Battle Ridge Rd and Twin Mounds Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across these townships, ranging from the Ingalls Cem near the northwestern boundary to the New Zion Cem and Fairlawn Cem further east. Several watercourses, including Council Creek, Big Creek, and Salt Cr, feed into the river valley, illustrating the drainage patterns that dictated the placement of early homesteads and farmsteads in the region.
