About this map

Oswalt and Cheek sit along the rolling boundary of Carter and Love Counties, marking a landscape defined by an extensive network of water management reservoirs and rural drainage basins. The area is characterized by the winding path of Walnut Bayou and its numerous tributaries, including Polecat Cr and Board Tree Cr. The 2016 survey documents several significant flood control structures, such as the Upper Bayou Site Number 22 Reservoir and the Lower Bayou Cr Site 8 Reservoir, which have reshaped the local topography.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise locations of the Oswalt Cem, Cheek Cem, and Cheek-Love Cem, which serve as quiet anchors for these small communities. The settlement of Eastman Hills appears in the southeastern corner, while the presence of landmarks like Battle Springs Lake reflects the importance of water resources to this section of Oklahoma's cross-timbers region.
