About this map

Bentley and Matoy serve as the primary nodes of settlement in this landscape defined by the winding course of Clear Boggy Creek. The map documents a rural Oklahoma interface where the Atoka and Bryan County line bisects a network of family-named landmarks and water sources. Genealogists and local historians can find significant markers including Turnbull Cem near the Turnbull Springs and Matoy Cem situated to the south.

The water-rich terrain is dotted with distinctive features like Twin Lakes, Grassy Lake, and Mossy Lake, suggesting a low-lying riparian environment. Higher ground is marked by the Caney Hill Ch, while numerous tributaries such as Delaware Creek and Straight Creek feed the larger creek system. This 1960s-era survey preserves the locations of local roads and property boundaries as they existed before modern regional developments.
