About this map

Rush Creek and Sandy Creek carve through this section of Garvin County, defining a landscape where agriculture and the petroleum industry coexist. The presence of numerous Oil Wells and a prominent Pipeline through the Brady and Whitebead districts illustrates the energy production era of the late 1960s. This survey is particularly valuable for its detail on rural community hubs, showing the Church of God, Fair Oak Ch, and Love Ch scattered across the countryside.

Transportation and infrastructure are anchored by the A T & S F railroad line in the northeast corner and a network of local roads and fences. For genealogists, the location of the Klondike Cem provides a specific point of interest for family research. The map also includes technical data for several water management features, such as Spillway Elev 1070, which mark the various small reservoirs utilized for local land management.
