1984 Map of Kirkpatrick Lake

Resource extraction marks the land, with oil wells and oil sites scattered across the ridges, indicating the industrial activity occurring alongside traditional rural life. Genealogical interest is found in isolated cemeteries tucked away from the primary creek beds, while named branches like Theuvenins Br and Drakes Branch provide specific landmarks for tracing historical land tracts. The survey captures the transition of the Piney Woods region during the late 1970s, before more modern development altered these drainage basins.
