About this map

Amboy serves as a central point in this mid-1970s landscape, where the rural character of Turner County is defined by its creek valleys and agricultural infrastructure. The Seaboard Coast Line cuts through the northeast, while the presence of an Old RR Grade and Old Railroad Grade trace the legacy of earlier transportation routes that once linked these small communities. Settlements like Double Run and Castleberry are established near these corridors, reflecting the area's historical reliance on rail for commerce and travel.

Local genealogy is well-documented through scattered landmarks such as Pate Cem and Rainey Cem, alongside community anchors like Oklahoma Ch and St Lukes Ch. The terrain is deeply etched by water, with Wolf Creek and Deep Creek draining the southern portions of the quadrangle. These drainage patterns, including Kings Branch and Pates Branch, influenced the placement of farms and cemeteries across the Wilcox, Crisp, and Turner county lines.
