About this map

Oswalt Cemetery and the drainage basins of Southern Oklahoma define this landscape, where the waters of Walnut Bayou and Polecat Creek converge. The area is marked by a sophisticated network of water management, evidenced by numerous structures such as the Battle Springs Lake Dam and various site-specific installations like Lower Bayou Creek Site 7 Dam. These features illustrate the intersection of agricultural land use and hydrologic control in Love County.

Rural life is anchored by family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, including the Cheek Cemetery and Cheek Love Cemetery located near Bull Creek. A grid of section roads like Buck Skin Rd and Pike Rd connects these points of interest, while names like Board Tree Creek and Simon Creek suggest the early natural landmarks used by settlers to navigate the terrain before the modern road system was established.
