About this map

Madge and Carl anchor this rural landscape in Harmon County along the border with Greer County. The area is characterized by a dense network of local section roads, including E1420 Rd and N1700 Rd, which connect isolated farmsteads across the rolling plains. Community life centers on the Independence Ch and the adjacent Independence Cem, providing a focal point for genealogical research and local history in this corner of southwest Oklahoma.

Water management is evident through the presence of the Fred Yarbrough Reservoir and drainage patterns like Hester Cr and the topographical depression of Dixon Hollow. This survey reflects the enduring agricultural character of the region, where the grid of the Public Land Survey System dictated the placement of nearly every road and residence. The map details the transition across several townships, including t5n r26w and t6n r26w, illustrating the precise organization of the Oklahoma prairie.
