About this map

Benson and the northern outskirts of El Paso anchor this survey of Woodford County's agricultural heartland. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Panther Cr and its numerous branches, including W Br Panther Cr and Little Panther Cr, which carve through the grid of section roads. This rural area preserves several small family and parish burial grounds, such as Clayton Cem and Saint John Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the region's early settlement history.

Transportation infrastructure dominates the central corridor, where Interstate 39 and the surrounding local road network intersect near Panola. Aside from the primary towns, the presence of private aviation strips like Unzicker Airport and Barnstorm Field highlights the modern utility of these open prairie stretches. The map provides a precise look at the transition between established municipalities and the surrounding farmland and wooded creek bottoms.
