2022 Map of Pernell

About this map

Pernell, Foster, and Tussy anchor this rural landscape in south-central Oklahoma, situated at the crossroads of Stephens, Garvin, and Carter counties. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Sandy Bear Cr, Salt Cr, and Black Bear Cr, which dictate the placement of local roads and family-named landmarks. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including Sandy Bear Cem, Robberson Cem, Tussy Cem, and Dripping Springs Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills. The presence of the Newman Farm Airport west of Pernell highlights the region's historical reliance on local aviation for agricultural and transport needs. This survey details the established sections and ranges of the early 21st century, showing how property lines and secondary routes like Camel Back Rd and Baseline Rd continue to follow the foundational township system.
