2022 Map of Gowen

About this map

Gaines Creek and its many meandering tributaries dominate this Latimer County landscape, where the flatlands of the creek basin meet rising upland terrain. Small rural settlements like Gowen, Bowers, and Patterson are connected by a network of local roads such as Patterson Rd and Gaines Creek Rd. This modern survey illustrates how these communities remain centered around historical markers of local identity, including the Gowen Cem, Boiling Springs Cem, and the remote Tea Cem to the northeast. The presence of the Wilburton Municipal Airport near the eastern boundary signifies the integration of modern infrastructure into this traditionally agricultural area. The map's detailed hydrography, showing Boiling Springs Cr and Beaver Cr, highlights the importance of water management in a region characterized by seasonal wetlands and significant elevation changes.
