2022 Map of Watchorn

About this map

The Arkansas River winds through the northern reach of this quadrangle, forming a natural boundary between Osage Co and Pawnee Co. Within these river bends lie Beaver Island and Turkey Island, surrounded by a landscape defined by its creek systems and rural road grid. The settlement of Watchorn stands in the western portion of the map, while Big Bend is situated to the north along the river's path. Water management is a central theme of the geography here, evidenced by the expansive Sooner Lake and the Lower Black Bear Cr Site 7 Reservoir. This 2022 survey details the modern configuration of the land, showing how local routes like e0410 RD and n3380 RD connect these rural Oklahoma communities. For those studying the hydrology of the region, the intricate drainage patterns of Red Rock Creek, Greasy Cr, and Walker Cr are meticulously charted.
