About this map

The Washita River meanders through the heart of this Garvin County landscape, shaping a terrain defined by fertile floodplains and low-lying oxbows like Horseshoe Lake. The settlement pattern centers on the corridor between Paoli and the northern reaches of Pauls Valley, connected by a grid of rural routes such as State Hwy 145 and Randolph Rd. These roads link isolated farmsteads with local landmarks that anchor the community's history, including the White Bead area and the adjacent Whitebead Cem.

Family history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Florence Cem and the Dulin and Walker Cem near the town of Paoli. Small tributaries like Gaddis Cr and Cheek Cr provide drainage for the surrounding agricultural tracts. The map reveals the persistence of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines clearly demarcating the transition between t5n r1w and t4n r1w, illustrating the organized development of this Oklahoma prairie region.
