About this map

The Salt Fork Red River carves a dramatic path through this Greer County landscape, defining the northern geography of the area. On the river's northern banks, the southern edge of Mangum serves as the focal point of settlement, anchored by the Courthouse and the local Po. The map details the transition from the structured street grid of the town, featuring Jefferson St and Johnson St, into the surrounding rural townships of Bloomington and Tilley.

Resource extraction and community infrastructure are well-documented throughout the terrain. From the Gaging Station and Radio Tower to several industrial sites like the Gravel Pit and Quarry, the map illustrates a landscape of active utility. Genealogists will find particular value in the identification of several burial grounds, including White Flat Cem, Riverside Cem, and Ladessa Cem, which mark the history of family settlement across the Oklahoma plains.
