About this map

Welch and Bluejacket anchor this rural section of Craig County, Oklahoma, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous small waterways. The Union Pacific Railroad cuts through the western portion of the terrain, running parallel to the primary north-south road network that connects these agricultural communities. The topography is marked by several named drainage systems, including Little Cabin Cr, Wolf Cr, and the colorfully named Whiskey Br and Possum Br, which carve shallow valleys through the prairie.

Local history and genealogy are centered around established landmarks like the Bluejacket Cem and the distinct elevation of Timber Hill. The grid of section roads, such as E 110 RD and S 4450 RD, provides precise spatial context for identifying historical homesteads and land allotments. This survey captures a moment of modern continuity in a region where the land usage remains tied to the underlying creek system and the long-standing rail corridor.
