2011 Map of Aquilla

About this map

Turkey Creek and Red Creek carve through this corner of Choctaw County, shaping a landscape defined by small rural settlements and resource extraction. The community of Aquilla serves as a central point, flanked by the Zion Chapel Oil Field to the north and the Healing Springs Gas Field near Shady Grove to the south. For genealogists, the map is particularly dense with burial sites, including the Old Aquilla Cemetery, Wilkins Cemetery, and Mount Zion Cemetery. Transportation follows established corridors like Co Hwy 2 and Co Hwy 3, which connect the scattered hamlets of Contwell and Chapel Hill. Small bodies of water such as Lake Gypsy and Lake Ola dot the interior, while the Aquilla Lookout Tower stands as a prominent local landmark overlooking the drainage basins of Whiskey Creek and Sandy Creek.
