About this map

The town of Boynton serves as the focal point of this eastern Oklahoma landscape, positioned at a junction where the St Louis - San Francisco railroad cuts across the prairie. By the early 1970s, the region's character was defined by a mix of agriculture and the legacy of the local Oil Field, with numerous Oil Wells scattered across the northern sections. The terrain is marked by distinct townships and local elevations such as Bald Hill and Sutton, while the drainage system is dominated by the meandering Cane Creek and Walnut Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of rural landmarks, including Boynton Cem, Charles Cem, and Lee Cem. The spiritual life of the era is captured through several small congregations, such as Cane Creek Ch and Community Ch. The presence of Boynton Lake provides a notable water feature in an otherwise rolling terrain of farms and oil derricks along the Muskogee and Okmulgee County line.
