About this map

Silver City and Olive anchor this 2016 survey of northwestern Creek County, Oklahoma, where the landscape is defined by the drainage systems feeding into the Arkansas River basin. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling reaches of Keystone Lake, which meets the rugged terrain carved by Sand Cr and Rocky Canyon Cr. To the east, the settlement of Mannford sits near the Mannford Reservoir, illustrating the mid-century transformation of the local geography for water management and recreation.

Genealogists will find significant local history markers in the numerous small burial grounds dispersed across the townships. The Foster Family Cem, New Friendship Cem, and Sub Station Cem remain as quiet indicators of early family settlements and rural communities. The map also traces a dense network of seasonal waterways, including Figure Eight Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and Little Salt Cr, which reveal the natural topography that shaped early cattle ranching and farming in the region.
