About this map

The Arbuckle Mountains define the character of this landscape in the late 1960s, where the winding boundary between Carter and Murray Counties snakes through a complex network of narrow ridges and stream valleys. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Eightmile Creek, West Spring Creek, and Hickory Creek, illustrating the unique geology of this ancient uplift. While the interior is largely dominated by natural features like Thomas Hollow, the northwestern corner shows signs of local activity with a Gravel Pit and the Hennepin Cem.

To the southeast, the terrain reaches a distinct focal point at Mountain Lake, where the waters of Little Hickory Creek are captured. The map reveals the intricate water system of the area, including Garrison Creek and Squirrel Creek, which flow through the forested elevations. This 1968 survey serves as a clear record of the rural landscape before more intensive modern development, preserving the locations of family cemeteries and local resources.
