About this map

Fort Towson and its immediate surroundings are defined by a complex network of named watercourses and local history sites in Choctaw County. This 2010 survey details the geographic layout of the area near the eastern bend of Rock Creek, where the settlements of West Fort Towson and Sawyer are linked by regional roads. A significant concentration of historical interest is found on the eastern side of the map, particularly the Old Fort Towson Cemetery and the primary Fort Towson Cemetery, which serve as critical landmarks for genealogical research.

The terrain rises toward Round Mountain in the north, while the landscape is punctuated by several small reservoirs including those created by the Schooler Lake Dam and various unnamed dams. Water drainage across the quadrangle follows a series of branches and creeks, such as Wire Branch, Gates Creek, and the descriptively named Oil Well Branch. The road network is extensively labeled, featuring a grid of rural routes like Tram Rd and Woodchop Rd that delineate the rural land divisions of the early 21st century.
