About this map

Old Bennington and the newer settlement of Bennington anchor this part of northern Bryan County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of creek drainages and intermittent springs. The map documents the persistent layout of local rural roads, including Armstrong Academy Rd and Old Bennington Rd, which trace the history of settlement and movement in this region. Landmarks such as Armstrong Acad Cem and Wilson Cem provide essential data points for genealogists tracking family history in the area.

Water sources are a primary feature of the terrain, with Dancing Rabbit Cr, Sassafras Cr, and Sulphur Cr flowing through the undulating lands between Sugarloaf Mt and Tenmile Hill. Several named springs, including Attaway Spring, Banty Spring, and Odell Spring, suggest the historical importance of reliable water in this rural Oklahoma territory. The transition from the high ground at Barkers Canyon down to the creek beds illustrates the subtle elevation changes characteristic of this portion of the state.
