About this map

The Arbuckle Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Carter County region, where the terrain drops away into a complex network of drainages including Caddo Creek and Hickory Creek. In the late 1960s, the rural community of Milo served as a central point for local families, supported by the Milo Cem and nearby St Paul Ch. Further east, the settlement of Woodford sits near the headwaters of Salt Creek, while Newport marks the southern extent of the survey area.

Industrial activity is evident through the numerous Gravel Pits and Oil Wells scattered across the township of Hewitt, indicating the resource extraction that shaped the local economy. Notable landmarks like Hickory Falls and a lakeside Picnic Area highlight the recreational use of the upland geography. This survey provides a precise record of property divisions and field lines, essential for tracing land use patterns and genealogy in this part of Oklahoma.
