1980 Map of Bennington South

About this map

Bennington and the surrounding agricultural lands of southern Bryan County are defined by the meandering course of the Blue River. This landscape of the early 1980s reveals a network of rural communities including Bokchito, Midland, and Albany, each connected by a series of creeks such as Sassafras Creek, Sulphur Creek, and Tuklo Creek. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, identifying numerous local landmarks like Sulphur Springs Ch, Antioch Ch, and the Chisholtok Ch. Small cemeteries such as Labors Cem and McGee Springs Cem are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the long-standing family ties to this corner of Oklahoma. To the south, the settlement of Wade sits near the Rice Creek drainage, while industrial activity is noted at the Sandpit near Cherokee Lake.
