2016 Map of Bennington North

About this map

Bennington and the nearby historic settlement of Old Bennington anchor this survey of southern Oklahoma's rolling landscape. The area is defined by a dense concentration of lineage-rich sites, notably the Old Bennington Presbyterian Cem and the Armstrong Academy Cem, which point to the deep Choctaw Nation roots of this territory. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Sugarloaf Mtn and Tenmile Hill in the north toward the creek-fed lowlands. A network of rural routes, including Banty Trl and Reynolds Chapel Rd, connects dispersed communities like Banty to the central corridor of US Highway 70. Numerous water sources such as Sassafras Cr, Bois d'Arc Cr, and Dancing Rabbit Cr weave through the landscape, illustrating the importance of natural drainage for the region's agricultural and ranching legacy.
