About this map

Pecan Gap serves as the primary hub in this corner of Delta County, situated near the headwaters of numerous creeks that feed into the N Sulphur River. The landscape is a network of rural county roads connecting small settlements and family burial grounds, reflecting a long history of agricultural settlement. Local genealogists will find several distinct cemeteries such as Broyal Cem and the Baptist Hill Cem near Ben Franklin.

Smaller hamlets and intersections like Dial, Rattan, and the uniquely named Jot-Em-Down are scattered across the terrain, often located at the junction of Farm-to-Market roads. The hydrology is particularly dense here, defined by the winding paths of Whittenburg Cr, Johns Cr, and Doctors Cr, which carve through the plains. The concentration of cemeteries, including Whittenburg Cem and Giles Cem, suggests the deep-rooted family legacy of the surrounding farmsteads.
