About this map

Jefferson County's rural drainage patterns are defined by the winding paths of W Mud Cr and Red Cr, which cut through this section of southern Oklahoma. The landscape is organized by a strict sectional grid, where long-established local routes like Browns Chapel Rd and Ernest Dickey Blvd serve the agricultural community. In the eastern reaches, Post Oak Cr provides further definition to the terrain.

While largely undeveloped by modern standards, the map reveals the persistent infrastructure of the Public Land Survey System across townships T5S and T6S. Surveyed and mapped by the U.S. Geological Survey, this 2018 edition provides a precise view of the rural road network, from named county arteries to the numbered section-line roads like E2000 Rd and N2940 Rd. It is a record of the enduring geometry of the Great Plains, where the intersection of water and roadway remains the primary anchor for local history and land use.
