About this map

The Washita River carves a winding path through this central Oklahoma landscape, defining a valley where agriculture and oil production coexist. The community of Paoli sits as a primary rail point along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which parallels the river's course. To the south, the settlement of Whitebead remains a focal point of local history, anchored by the Whitebead Cem.

Industrial activity is evident across the terrain, with extensive drilling operations marked by the West Pauls Valley Oil Field and the East Maysville Oil Field. The map records a complex hydrological network including Gaddie Creek, Owl Creek, and the oxbow formation of Horseshoe Lake. For genealogists, the inclusion of Florence Cem provides a specific point of interest for family research in Garvin County.
