2010 Map of Whippoorwill

About this map

Boulanger Cemetery and the nearby settlement of Boulangerville serve as primary historical touchpoints in this northern Osage County landscape. Situated along the winding course of the Caney River, the area is defined by its complex network of tributaries, including Birch Creek and Turkey Creek. The map documents a rural environment where land use is closely tied to water management, evidenced by several numbered dams and the Hulah Restocking Pond Dam. In the eastern portion of the quadrangle, the reach of Hulah Lake shapes the terrain, while to the west, Artillery Mountain provides a distinct change in elevation. Small, named locales like Boulanger Landing and Whippoorwill reflect the dispersed nature of human settlement in this region near the Oklahoma-Kansas border.
