2010 Map of Murchison West

About this map

Walton, Sumer Hill, and Bethel serve as the primary focal points of this Henderson County landscape, which is defined by a dense network of watercourses and reservoirs. The drainage system is particularly intricate, with Kickapoo Creek and Pottawatomie Creek winding through the northern reaches, while Third Caney Creek and Second Caney Creek traverse the central and southern sections. This 2010 survey illustrates the region's reliance on managed water resources, evidenced by numerous named dams such as the Tiner Lake Dam and N M Jackson Dam. Local history and genealogy are anchored by sites like Liberty Cemetery and Ray Cemetery, providing points of continuity in a landscape that also includes modern infrastructure like the Stepp Airport. The road network, including the Bankhead route, connects these rural settlements and water bodies into a coherent community structure.
