Okmulgee County Conservation District

Okmulgee County Conservation District The Okmulgee County Conservation District is responsible for the conservation and restoration of our natural resources.

• Okmulgee County is mostly prairie and lies almost entirely within the Cherokee Prairies land resource area. Overall, it slopes very gently to the south and east. The prairies originally had a cover of tall grass, but other areas were predominantly forested. The forest consisted of blackjack oak, post oak, and hickory on the sandier ridges; oaks on the sandy terraces along the Deep Fork Canadian

River (also called the Deep Fork River ); and various deciduous trees on the bottoms along other streams. The elevation ranges from about 1,000 feet in the northwestern corner to about 590 feet on the southeastern edge.

• Most of the county is drained by the Deep Fork Canadian River, which flows from the central western edge southeast to the eastern edge and eventually into the North Canadian River at a point several miles east of the county line. Creeks that flow to the north and east drain the northeastern third. Two small areas in the southeastern and southwestern corners are drained by the North Canadian River , which flows across the county at the far southeastern corner. All these streams are tributaries of the Arkansas River .

• Okmulgee County is divided agriculturally in to two regions: the northeast and eastern area has more cropland whereas the western and southern area of the county is now predominately former farmland converted to livestock and hay production.

Great day spent at the NWC conference field day in bowling green Kentucky. Little Reddy watershed learning how they handled a flood event and the damage it caused, Oklahoma Conservation Commission staff Johnny Pelley and Watershed aides Conner and Treven doing demonstrations of how the robot camera system works in auxiliary pipe. We also got to see a remote control mower mowing the steep sides of a structure.
