About this map

Bokchito serves as the primary hub of activity on this Bryan County survey, centered around the St Louis - San Francisco railroad and the local Cemetery. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage, including Caddo Creek and the meandering Bokchito Creek, which transition into more rugged terrain near the Matoy area. Smaller named settlements and junctions like Sevenmile Corner, Pritchard, and Speairs provide important landmarks for local history researchers and genealogists tracing early family homesteads in the region.

Agricultural and community life in the late 1960s is evidenced by the placement of the Robinson Ch and Double Springs Ch, alongside small-scale industrial and transport features such as a Gravel Pit and the Big Creek Airport. The map also captures specialized infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal Ponds near the town center and the uniquely named Mail Rider Creek, suggesting old transport routes through the Oklahoma countryside.
