2012 Map of Uncas

About this map

Kaw Lake dominates this Oklahoma landscape, a reservoir that reshaped the geography of Kay County by submerging former river bottomlands. The settlement of Uncas sits on the western shore of the lake, positioned near Coon Creek Cove and Coon Cr. The map reveals a transition from traditional section-line agriculture to lakeside developments, evident in residential clusters like Timberline Hts and Rhgato Acres Rd. A complex network of creeks, including Sweetwater Cr, Possum Cr, and Fishhook Cr, feed into the lake, marking the original drainage patterns of the plains. Shoreline access is maintained through routes such as Lake Rd and Rocky Ridge RD, reflecting the area's modern role as a recreation and residential hub established decades after the damming of the Arkansas River.
