About this map

The meandering Deep Fork river defines the southern landscape of this Oklahoma survey, where the creek-fed bottomlands meet a network of rural section roads. The map documents a landscape heavily managed for water, evidenced by a series of named reservoirs and dams such as the Salt-Camp Creek Site 21 Reservoir and several numbered Oknoname projects. These features suggest an emphasis on flood control and resource management in the watershed areas of Salt Creek and Pickle Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites across the quadrangle. Settlements like Ritts Junction and Aron anchor the northern and eastern reaches, while numerous cemeteries—including Big Pond Cemetery, Mutteloke Cemetery, and Micawber Cemetery—provide tangible links to the area's ancestral residents. Tributaries such as Pettiquah Creek and Hilliby Creek further detail the complex hydrology surrounding the larger river valley.
