About this map

The Washita River carves a dramatic, meandering path across this Southern Oklahoma landscape, defining the northern border of the territory. This early 1960s survey documents the rural communities of Mannsville and Dickson as they appeared before major modern highway expansions altered the local character. Centered on the intersection of the St Louis - San Francisco railroad and the town of Mannsville, the map reveals a network of small settlements and family-named locations such as Earl and Simpson.

Genealogists can find significant local history markers, including the Thomas Cem, Nelda Cem, and Rollins Cem. Educational and spiritual life is anchored by landmarks like the Durwood Sch and Baum Ch. The transition between the Wilson and Holford terrain areas is marked by active land use, from Gravel Pits and a Quarry to the Gaging Station on the river, showing an economy still closely tied to the region's natural resources.
