About this map

Lake Fuqua and a sprawling network of reservoirs dominate this Stephens County landscape northeast of Duncan. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated water management system along the tributaries of Wildhorse Creek, featuring numerous numbered basins such as Wildhorse Creek Site 38 and Wildhorse Creek Site 39. These sites, managed by the Department of the Interior, illustrate the modern infrastructure required to control local watersheds and support the agricultural land surrounding the city.

Evidence of the area's earlier settlement persists alongside these modern developments. The Owens Prairie Cemetery stands as a significant genealogical landmark, while the rural road network, including Hope Territory Road and Baseline Road, follows the sectional lines established during the region's initial land surveys. Small watercourses like Black Bear Creek and Queens Creek continue to wind through the territory, feeding the larger reservoirs that now characterize the local geography.
