About this map

Forests and creek bottoms dominate the rural landscape of Grant and Saline Counties in this mid-1960s survey, with updates from the mid-1970s. The area around Cane Creek and Hurricane Creek is marked by small crossroads settlements and family-named landmarks. Notable rural community centers include Marlow and Orion, which are centered around local institutions like Marlow Ch and the Orion Cem.

The infrastructure of the mid-century reflects a transition toward modern utility and transport, evidenced by the Flying W Ranch Landing Strip and several gravel pits. A network of small drainages like Twomile Branch and Price Branch feeds into the larger creek systems, while historical land divisions are noted across the sections of Baner and Simpson. Genealogists will find particular value in the multiple family and community burial grounds, including Gum Springs Cem and Jackson Cem, which anchor these scattered rural neighborhoods.
