2012 Map of Grant

About this map

The southern Oklahoma borderlands near Hugo are defined by the winding course of the Red River, which carves deep meanders and oxbow features like Roebuck Lake and Pitts Bend into the landscape. This early 21st-century survey documents the transition from the city of Hugo down to the riverside settlement of Grant, following the corridor of State HWY 271 Alt. The map is particularly dense with genealogical data, marking numerous rural burial grounds including Mount Olivet Cemetery, Springs Chapel Cemetery, and Sweet Hill Cemetery. Local hydrology is complex, featuring the confluence of Muddy Boggy Creek and the Boggy Cutoff as they feed into the primary river channel near Allen Island. The arrangement of small communities like Goodland and its associated Goodland Cemetery reflects a pattern of long-established rural settlement supported by the fertile bottomlands of the Red River valley.
