1969 Map of Bentley

About this map

Bentley sits at the intersection of rural roads north of the Atoka Co Bryan Co line, serving as a focal point for this landscape of meandering creeks and low-lying wetlands. The community is anchored by Caney Hill Ch and a nearby cemetery, while the southern settlement of Matoy is marked by the Matoy Cem. The area is defined by the winding course of Clear Boggy Creek and its numerous tributaries, including Cowpen Creek and Long Branch, which feed into several prominent water bodies such as Twin Lakes, Grassy Lake, and Clear Lake. This 1969 field-checked survey highlights a distinct local hydrography where small springs like Turnbull Springs and named branches like Dancing Rabbit Creek create a complex network of drainage across the county border. The map also records numerous unnamed structures and field lines, providing a detailed record of late 20th-century land use and habitation patterns in this corner of Oklahoma.
