About this map

The small settlements of Foster and Pernell anchor this Oklahoma landscape, situated where the rolling hills of Garvin and Stephens counties meet. The area is defined by a complex hydraulic network of small water management projects, including a series of reservoirs such as Wildhorse Creek Site 47 Reservoir and Wildhorse Creek Site 65 Reservoir, designed to control the flow of local tributaries like Sandy Bear Cr and Salt Cr.

For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds that reflect the area's rural community structure, including Sandy Bear Cem and Robberson Cem. Near the southern border, the community of Tussy sits at the junction of Stephens, Carter, and Garvin counties, marked by the nearby Tussy Cem and Dripping Springs Cem. The terrain is crisscrossed by an established grid of rural routes like Baseline Rd and Camelback Rd, connecting these scattered homesteads and small towns.
