About this map

Welch sits at the southern edge of this Oklahoma prairie landscape, where the agricultural grid of Craig County meets the winding path of the Neosho River. The region is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Russell Creek and Fly Creek in the north and Little Cabin Creek near the town center. These creeks create a complex drainage pattern across the township lines of t29n r20e and t29n r21e.

For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are preserved across the landscape, including Russell Creek Cem near the northern border and Williams Cem in the southeast. The border between Craig and Ottawa counties runs through the northeastern corner, following the river and its associated wetlands. The map details a strictly organized system of section roads like Nation Rd and S 4450 Rd, illustrating the persistence of the Public Land Survey System in this ranching and farming corridor.
