About this map

The rolling drainage basins of Captain Creek and Quapaw Creek define this section of Lincoln County, where the landscape is dotted with small-scale petroleum development and several community landmarks. The map captures a rural network of schoolhouses and burial grounds essential for family history research, including the Wilson Chapel Sch and Wilson Chapel, alongside numerous family and community plots such as Newby Cem, Rossville Cem, and Lutheran Cem.

Settlement patterns in the mid-1960s were concentrated near the Captain Creek Community Center in the northwest and the hamlet of Jacktown in the southeast. This survey was updated in the early 1980s to include more recent infrastructure like the Landing Strip near the eastern boundary, yet it preserves the traditional township divisions of Kickapoo and North Wichita. Scattered Oil Wells across the terrain indicate the localized industrial footprint that shaped the local economy during this era.
