2012 Map of Purcell

About this map

Purcell and Lexington sit on opposing banks of the Canadian River, connected by a corridor that has long defined the local economy and geography of Cleveland County. In this 2012 landscape, the braided channels of the river dominate the western edge, while the interior is dotted with rural settlements like Slaughterville and industrial markers including the Alamo Oil Field and the Northeast Gibbon Spur Oil Field. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds throughout the area, from the Lexington Cem in the south to the Dripping Springs Cem and Shiloh Cem further north. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is well-represented, featuring Mc Caslin Airport and a dense network of country roads such as Slaughterville Rd and Cemetery Rd that link these small communities and family farms.
