About this map

Lake Texoma and the Washita River dominate the southwestern portion of this landscape, marking the confluence where river currents meet the expanding waters of the reservoir. This 1967 field-checked survey highlights the managed conservation lands of the Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge, which spans the shoreline and includes features like Nida Point. Inland, the terrain is defined by a network of creeks including Twelvemile Creek, Sandy Creek, and Rock Creek, which drain the varied topography of areas labeled Thomas and Myrick.

Local history is preserved in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as Condon Grove Cem and Harris Cem. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade north of the Blue River speaks to former transportation routes that once connected Milburn to the broader region. Small settlements like Emet, Nida, and Bee serve as focal points for rural life, while industrial activity is noted by a single Gravel Pit near the water's edge.
