About this map

The settlement of Wilson anchors this Atoka County landscape where the lowlands are defined by the winding course of Clear Boggy Creek and its many tributaries. This terrain is marked by historical transit corridors such as the Butterfield Crossing Rd and the Overland Trl, reflecting the area's legacy as a passage through the Choctaw Nation territory. The presence of the Boggy Depot Cem near the center of the sheet points to the vanished site of Boggy Depot, once a vital 19th-century trade and political center.

Water management is a primary feature of the modern topography, seen in the Lower Clear Boggy Cr Site 10 Reservoir and the Lower Clear Boggy Cr Site 6 Reservoir. These reservoirs, along with natural features like Flag Lake and the Rock Creek Falls, contrast with the systematic grid of rural section roads. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Banks Cem and Wards Chapel Cem on the periphery.
