1986 Map of Pauls Valley

About this map

The Washita River and Canadian River valleys define this mid-1980s landscape, where agricultural tradition meets the energy infrastructure of the Oil Field Road. Centered on Pauls Valley, the map details a region transitioning toward the Arbuckle Mountains to the south. Local history is anchored by numerous small settlements like Erin Springs, Whitebead, and Chitwood, alongside vital transportation corridors such as the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. The inclusion of the Chickasaw National Wildlife Refuge and resources like the Purcell Lake show the importance of water management and conservation in Garvin County. Genealogists will find value in the placement of Hillside Cem, Oaklawn Cem, and Mt Olive Church, which serve as permanent markers for the area's rural communities.
