About this map

Duncan and Marlow anchor this landscape during a period of transition, where the northern residential expansion of Stephens County meets a complex system of watershed management. The eastern edge is dominated by Lake Humpherys, a large reservoir fed by McCubbin Creek and Wildhorse Creek, which is further regulated by a series of dams including Wildhorse Creek Site 22 Dam and several others.

Genealogical and local history interest is found in the distribution of burial sites, ranging from the Old Duncan Cemetery near the city center to the Short Cemetery and Resthaven Cemetery. The map also captures the local transportation and recreation infrastructure, from the Copland Airport on the western edge to the youth facilities at Camp Winkler. This survey documents how local waterways like Claridy Creek, Willow Creek, and Cow Creek weave through the growing suburban grid and industrial plots of the early 21st century.
