About this map

The Blue River winds through this rural Bryan County landscape, defining a terrain dominated by agricultural allotments and water management. Local history is anchored by several burial sites, including the Old Philadelphia Cemetery, the Philadelphia Cemetery further south, and the Burris Cemetery. The drainage network is particularly dense here, featuring numerous tributaries such as Puckett Creek, Jones Creek, and Tuklo Creek.

Modern infrastructure is evident in the cluster of small-scale water projects like the McGee Lake Number 1 Dam and the McGee Lake Number 2 Dam, as well as the Texoma Speedway located near the southern margin. The road network is a mix of section-line routes and older thoroughfares like Old Hwy 70, which reflects the area's development before more recent highway realignments. This survey provides a clear view of the family-named landmarks and local water resources that have shaped this portion of Oklahoma.
