2009 Map of Purdy

About this map

Purdy Cemetery stands near the intersection of several local routes, serving as a primary genealogical landmark in this rural Garvin County landscape. The area is defined by a sophisticated water management network, evidenced by numerous structures such as the Rush Creek Site 28 Dam and the Wildhorse Creek Site 93 Dam. These dams are part of a broader conservation effort along the drainage basins of Rush Creek, Salt Creek, and Wildcat Creek. The settlement pattern follows a grid of section-line roads, including Wallville Rd and Goad Rd, which connect remote farmsteads. Near the center of the quadrangle, Camp Keno Taunee provides a rare recreational or communal landmark amidst the agricultural fields and riparian corridors. This 2009 survey illustrates the late-twentieth-century shift toward integrated flood control and watershed management in Oklahoma's prairie-timber transition zone.
