About this map

Boggy Depot serves as the focal point of this rural Oklahoma landscape, where the historical settlement is preserved within the Boggy Depot Recreation Area. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Clear Boggy Creek and its many tributaries, including Sandy Creek and Watson Creek. Local genealogy and community history are anchored by the Wilson Ch and several burial grounds, such as Wilson Cem and the Boggy Depot Cem.

Industry and natural features mark the southern reaches of the quadrangle, notably at the East Boggy Depot Oil Field and the Rock Creek Falls on Rock Creek. The map documents a quiet period of mid-century land use, showing scattered residences in Wilson and the presence of Flag Lake amidst the creek bottoms. The surveying by the U. S. Geological Survey reveals a transition between established agricultural areas and localized petroleum extraction.
