About this map

Pauls Valley Lake serves as a central landmark in this portion of south-central Oklahoma, situated north of the Pauls Valley city limits. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Washita River in the south and an intricate drainage system including Washington Creek, Peavine Creek, and Owl Creek. These waterways dictate the local topography and have long influenced the development of rural homesteads and agricultural plots throughout Garvin Co and Mcclain Co.

Genealogical interest is found in small settlements like Paoli and the tiny community of Civit. Local history is preserved at the Paoli Cemetery and the more secluded Fort Family Cemetery near the northern boundary. The section-line road network, including Indian Meridian Avenue and City Lake Road, provides a clear framework for tracing property lines and family land holdings across several townships.
