About this map

The Osage Indian Reservation Boundary defines the northern reaches of this landscape, where the Caney River winds through a complex system of valleys and uplands. By the mid-1970s, the environment was heavily influenced by the impoundment of Hulah Lake, which created extensive recreational and conservation zones such as the Hulah Lake State Waterfowl Refuge and the Hulah Lake State Game Management Area. The map details a transition from the wooded slopes of Artillery Mountain to the inundation zones and public access points like Hog Pen Public Access.

Small settlements such as Boulangerville and Whippoorwill are situated near the waterways, while the presence of several Oil Field designations and a Pipeline indicate the ongoing industrial utility of the land alongside its protected natural spaces. Evidence of older river crossings remains at Boulanger Landing, while modern infrastructure is represented by various Boat Ramps and parks serving the reservoir.
