About this map

Lula and the surrounding rural townships sit at the intersection of the Missouri Pacific railroad and a network of creeks in south-central Oklahoma. This 1958 survey, updated with late-1970s photorevisions, shows a landscape defined by its water and industry, with a long Aqueduct and Pipeline cutting through the terrain. The presence of Oil Wells scattered near Bois d'Arc Creek highlights the local extraction economy, while the Indian Boundary line crossing north-to-south remains a significant surveyor's landmark.

Local genealogy is well-supported by the documentation of small community hubs such as Jaydee and several rural burial grounds including Lula Cem and Pleasant Grove Cem. The map tracks the passage of several waterways, including Leader Creek and Sandy Creek, alongside specific landmarks like Eubanks Ch and Rocky Point Ch, which served as the social anchors for this sparsely populated ranching and drilling country.
