About this map

The Washita River meanders through the heart of the Arbuckle Mountain foothills, shaping the border between Johnston and Marshall counties. This landscape is defined by its water resources, featuring numerous drainages like Sycamore Cr and Mill Creek, alongside modern developments such as the W M Chapman Reservoir and John O'Banion Reservoir. Local life centers around established towns such as Ravia, Russett, Mannsville, and the northern edge of Madill.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including the Cedar Hill Cem, Norton Cem, and Russett Cem. The map illustrates a rural transportation network of section line roads, such as Greasy Bend Rd and Redman Rd, that connect these historic settlements. Industrial and utility infrastructure is represented by the Madill Municipal Airport, providing insight into the area's twentieth-century aviation history.
