About this map

Dixie Cemetery serves as a focal point for genealogy in this corner of Carter County, situated among the undulating drainage basins of South Central Oklahoma. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding paths of Caddo Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and the curiously named Whisky Creek. These streams create a complex riparian pattern across the section lines, punctuated by man-made alterations like the Oknoname 137080 Reservoir and its associated dam.

A network of rural roads, such as Oil City Rd and Mail Route Rd, provides a glimpse into the local infrastructure and historical transit routes of the region. The map also captures distinctive local toponyms such as Convict Hill Rd and Tag Rd, suggesting the lived history and vernacular naming conventions of the area. This survey offers a precise record of the transition between open ranch land and the wooded creek bottoms of North Mud Creek and Walnut Creek.
