About this map

Wilson and Boggy Depot anchor this section of Atoka County, where the landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of the Clear Boggy Creek and its tributaries. The terrain is marked by significant water management features, including the Lower Clear Boggy Cr Site 10 Reservoir and Lower Clear Boggy Cr Site 6 Reservoir, which reflect mid-to-late 20th-century efforts to control the local hydrology. Genealogists will find substantial value in the documented locations of Wilson Cem, Boggy Depot Cem, and Wards Chapel Cem, which serve as key markers of early family settlement in the region.

Transportation routes like the Overland Trl and various section-line roads such as Rebel Rd and Artesian Rd illustrate the rural grid system typical of Oklahoma. The presence of natural features such as Flea Lake, Sandy Cr, and the Big Slough amidst the creek bottoms of Dry Boggy Cr provides a clear picture of the bottomlands and floodplains that have shaped the agricultural and residential development of this area.
