About this map

The Washita River carves a winding path through the heart of the Murray and Garvin county line, highlighting the transition between the fertile river bottom and the rising Arbuckle Mountains to the southwest. This landscape is defined by an extensive water management system, featuring numerous reservoirs such as Wildhorse Creek Site 124 Reservoir and Kickapoo Sandy Creek Site Bj-4 Reservoir that dot the tributaries.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant data points in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Shirley Cem and Butterfly Cem. Small settlements like Joy, Washita, and Hoover are connected by a grid of rural routes such as Indian Meridian Rd and Skruggs Rd. The map also captures the outskirts of Davis, showing the intersection of local roads with the larger regional transport network near Chigley Sandy Cr.
