The Washita River carves a deep path through the Arbuckle Mountains during the mid-1960s, a period of significant landscape transformation for Murray County. A prominent feature of this era is the Arbuckle Dam (Under Constr) on Rock Creek, marking the creation of the Lake of the Arbuckles. This development altered the local geography near Dougherty, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad runs parallel to the river. The map documents the region's industrial and social fabric, from the Vines Oil Field and numerous limestone quarries to the Falls Creek Assembly grounds. Local history is preserved through the locations of the James Cem, Indian Cem, and Price Cem, alongside the remnants of an Old RR Grade that speaks to earlier transportation networks.
