About this map

The community of Gowen and the winding course of Gaines Cr anchor this portion of the Oklahoma landscape during the early 21st century. The map documents a rural network of small settlements and family-named routes, including Chilli, Patterson, Bowers, and Drumb. These areas are connected by local roads like Powder Mill Rd and Highbridge Rd, reflecting a landscape deeply tied to its geography and history.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of several burial grounds, such as Tea Cem, High Bridge Cem, and Gowen Cem. The presence of the Wilburton Municipal Airport and numerous seasonal waterways like Boiling Springs Cr and Buffalo Cr further define the terrain. The integration of modern infrastructure with historical local names, such as Cambria Church Rd, illustrates the persistent identity of these Latimer County communities.
