2018 Map of Harden City

About this map

Harden City and the small settlements of Jesse and East Jesse anchor this 2018 topographic landscape at the meeting of Pontotoc, Coal, and Johnston counties. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated water management system, featuring numerous numbered reservoirs such as Upper Clear Boggy Cr Site 22 Reservoir and Upper Clear Boggy Cr Site 8 Reservoir along the drainage of Clear Boggy Cr. Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds, including Atkins Cem and Lonegrove Cem, while colorful topographic names like Gobbler Knob and Biscuit Knob dot the rolling hills. The persistence of named water sources like Deadmans Spring and Coffee Pot Spring reflects the enduring importance of reliable water in this rural Oklahoma region, where Section Line roads still define the grid of movement.
