About this map

Crooked River meanders through the heart of this Ray County landscape, shaping the rural character of the region. The small settlement of Knoxville sits at the intersection of several local roads, while the community of Sandals lies to the west, situated near the headwaters of several drainages. This area is defined by its extensive network of creeks and branches, including Fire Branch and Davis Branch, which feed into the larger river system.

Family and community history is preserved across the countryside in several small burial grounds. Genealogists may find interest in Mayes Cemetery north of Sandals, Sandals Cemetery adjacent to the settlement, and Maddux Cemetery further south near Rocky Fork. The map documents a predominantly agricultural grid, where long-standing property boundaries and local routes like Wollard Rd and Knutter Rd connect disparate homesteads and farms.
