About this map

The town of Duke serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Jackson County, situated along a network of section-line roads and drainage basins. The area is defined by the winding course of Turkey Creek and its managed water systems, which include several engineered impoundments such as the Tri-County Turkey Creek Site 28a Reservoir and Tri-County Turkey Creek Site 29a Reservoir. These reservoirs, along with Tri-County Turkey Creek Site 298 Reservoir, illustrate the modern water management critical to sustaining the rural Oklahoma plains.

Genealogical interest is centered on several local burial sites scattered across the township, including Rock Cemetery to the north, Duke Cemetery just east of the main settlement, and Cottonwood Cemetery near the banks of Cottonwood Creek. The map documents a strictly organized grid of rural routes, including e1620 RD and n1900 RD, providing a clear record of the 21st-century property divisions and natural landmarks like Spring Branch and Horse Branch.
