2018 Map of Nebo

About this map

The Washita River and Oil Creek define the landscape where Carter, Murray, and Johnston counties meet in south-central Oklahoma. This 2018 survey centers on the small settlements of Baum and Nebo, which sit amidst a network of rural ranch roads and unique terrain features. The presence of the Seven Sisters Hills south of Goddard Ranch Airport highlights the distinctive topography of the region. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds including Hutchins Cem near Baum and Young Cem further north. The map details a transition from the river valley to higher ground, connected by thoroughfares such as Big Canyon Rd and Dead River Rd. This documentation by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the modern road network and land divisions including t3s r3e and t2s r4e, showing how ranching and small-scale aviation have shaped the contemporary use of this varied terrain.
