About this map

The Blue River winds extensively through the landscape of this southern Oklahoma quadrangle, defining the drainage patterns for numerous tributaries like Sassafras Creek, Sulphur Creek, and McGee Creek. This rural area in Bryan County is characterized by a grid of local roads and several small-scale water management structures, including the Gregory Lake Dam and McIntire Lake Dam.

For those researching local heritage, the map is a significant record of early educational and community sites. It locates the Beames School and Manning School, alongside several family-named and local burial grounds such as Blue Branch Cemetery, Labors Cemetery, and McGee Springs Cemetery. These landmarks, along with features like Tuklo Creek and Rice Creek, provide a detailed look at the rural settlement patterns that have persisted into the twenty-first century.
