About this map

The boundary between Carter Co and Love Co defines the central axis of this landscape, where the prairie of Southern Oklahoma meets the drainage networks of several prominent creeks. Walnut Bayou and Board Tree Creek carve through the terrain, supporting a rural settlement pattern centered on the community of Oswalt and the family-named landmarks of the Lone Grove and Hickory districts.

Genealogists will find significant local value in the distribution of country churches and burial grounds, such as the Cheek Love Cem and Oswalt Cem. The era's economic activity is quietly represented by scattered Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit, alongside the infrastructure of Battle Springs Lake. This survey captures the transition from traditional agriculture to a landscape increasingly marked by industrial utility, seen in the prominent Pipeline corridors and the growth around Eastman Hills.
