About this map

Purdy sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along the boundary between Garvin and Stephens counties. The area is defined by an extensive network of water management features, including numerous reservoirs such as Rush Creek Site 31 Reservoir and Wildhorse Creek Site 90 Reservoir. These sites, scattered throughout the drainage basins of Rush Creek, Wildcat Creek, and Salt Creek, illustrate a highly engineered hydrological environment designed for flood control and water storage.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Purdy Cemetery and the Bearden Private Airstrip north of the settlement. The eastern portion of the map rises toward Table Hill, providing a distinct contrast to the creek bottoms. This survey documents the transition of the Oklahoma countryside into a modern agricultural and infrastructure-heavy era, where named rural roads like Wallville Road and Ballpark Road replace older trail networks.
