2016 Map of Durant North

About this map

The Durant city limits reach northward on this survey, where the campus of Southeastern Oklahoma State University serves as a prominent landmark. To the northwest, the landscape transitions into the expansive Twelvemile Prairie, a terrain defined by the drainage of the Blue River, Little Blue River, and Bois d'Arc Creek. Small rural communities and historical nodes like Silo, Kiersey, and Brown are connected by a network of sectional roads and the legacy of the Wagon Trail. Cultural sites of significance to local genealogy include Keffer Cemetery and Cox Chapel Cemetery, providing a record of long-standing settlement in the northern portion of Bryan County. The presence of the Mc Laughlin Farm Airport and several named creeks like Chuckwa Creek and Mineral Bayou further illustrate the area's mix of aviation, agricultural, and hydrologic development.
