About this map

Dougherty sits at the confluence of several vital water systems and local industries in this early 21st-century landscape. The Washita River meanders through the central terrain, bordered by the legacy of local extraction at the Vines Oil Field. To the east, the massive footprint of the Lake of the Arbuckles is secured by the Arbuckle Dam, a significant engineering feature that transformed the regional hydrology.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the James Cemetery and Price Cemetery, which remain preserved amidst the evolving road network. The map reveals a transition from natural landmarks like Burning Mountain and Sycamore Hollow to modern infrastructure such as the Amos Construction Company Dam. This record documents the intricate balance between the natural flow of Dry Sandy Creek and the man-made reservoirs that have come to define the area's geography.
