About this map

Wolco sits at the heart of this Osage County landscape, positioned where the drainage systems of Bird Creek and its many tributaries define the undulating terrain. The area is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including Candy Creek and Little Candy Cr, which carve through the hills. A notable local landmark is Waxhoma Lake, providing a distinct contrast to the surrounding creek valleys like those of Dog Thresher Cr and Tucker Cr.

Transport in this part of Oklahoma relies on a grid of county roads and the historic alignment of Old State Hwy 11, which connects the small settlement of Wolco to the broader region. The eastern edge of the map follows the Osage Co Washington Co line, where the headwaters of N Fork Double Cr and S Fork Double Cr begin their descent. This survey captures a moment of modern rural land use in the tallgrass prairie region, dominated by topography and the persistent flow of its namesake creeks.
