About this map

Oswalt and Cheek anchor this rural landscape in the late 1960s, situated near the boundary where Carter and Love counties meet. The area is defined by the winding course of Walnut Bayou and Spring Creek, which feed into the prominent Battle Springs Lake. This era shows a community structured around its spiritual and memorial sites, including the Lone Grove Church, Cheek Church, and their associated burial grounds like Oswalt Cemetery and Cheek Cemetery.

Resource extraction and land management are evident through the presence of a Gravel Pit, an Oil Well, and a major Pipeline cutting through the southern sections. The map also records the jurisdictional divisions of Hewitt and Burney, providing a detailed look at how property and townships were organized before modern expansion. The terrain transitions from the elevations of the Eastman Hills down to the creek beds of Simon Creek and Cherokee Creek, reflecting the natural drainage patterns of southern Oklahoma.
