About this map

Duke serves as the central hub of this Jackson County landscape, situated at the intersection of a sprawling rural road network. The town's layout is defined by streets like 1st St and 5th St, reflecting its role as a local point of settlement in southwestern Oklahoma. The surrounding countryside is heavily shaped by water management and drainage, notably through the Turkey Cr system and several specialized reservoirs including Tri-County Turkey Cr Site 28a Reservoir.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Rock Cem to the north and Cottonwood Cem to the southwest. These landmarks, along with Guffin Cem and Duke Cem, highlight the dispersed nature of early settlement along local waterways like Cottonwood Cr and Spring Br. The map provides a clear view of the section-line road system that organizes the agricultural terrain between these various water bodies.
