2018 Map of Gerty

About this map

Gerty sits at the intersection of rural road networks in southeastern Oklahoma, serving as a focal point for the surrounding Hughes County landscape. The town plan is delineated by numbered streets such as 4th St and 8th St, while the outlying areas are defined by the convergence of several major creek systems. This 2018 survey reveals a drainage network where Little Sandy Creek and Big Sandy Creek meander through the terrain towards the larger Muddy Boggy Creek to the south. Local heritage is marked by the presence of Gerty Cemetery and Panther Creek Cemetery, providing important touchstones for genealogical research. Water management is a visible priority across the landscape, with various numbered reservoirs and the named Mike Russell Reservoir punctuating the natural flow of Panther Creek and Salt Creek.
