About this map

The town of Lovelady serves as the focal point of this 1963 survey, situated along the Missouri Pacific railroad line that cuts through the western portion of the quadrangle. This area of Houston County is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including Box Creek, Gail Creek, and Tantabogue Creek, which define the undulating landscape between agricultural clearings and wooded patches. The distribution of rural landmarks like Anderson Chapel, South Hillside Ch, and the Center Grove Sch suggests a community structure built around dispersed family farms and local congregations.

Local history and genealogy researchers can find several burial grounds mapped here, including Evergreen Cem, Rockland Cem, and Cal Wooten Cem. The map also captures small-scale industrial activity through scattered Sand Pits and a Gravel Pit near the rail line. Natural features such as the Flowing Wells in the southeast and the various branches like Sand Branch indicate the region's reliance on its waterway network during the early 1960s.
