About this map

The Washita River meanders across this landscape, defining the hydrology of the region between Mannsville and Ravia. The terrain is marked by a complex network of tributaries, including Sycamore Creek, Courtney Creek, and Mill Creek, which feed into the river's winding course. Water management is a significant feature of the area, evidenced by the Lake Oteka Dam, W M Chapman Dam, and the John O'Banion 10 Dam. These structures indicate the rural economy's reliance on controlled water resources for ranching or local use.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by established sites like the Russett Cemetery and Cedar Hill Cemetery. Transportation routes such as Greasy Bend Rd and Old Hwy 70 connect these small settlements, while the Madill Municipal Airport serves as a modern infrastructure hub. The map captures a moment of transition where traditional land use meets more contemporary aviation and utility developments in southern Oklahoma.
