About this map

Lake Texoma dominates the southern reaches of this Marshall County landscape, where the rising waters of the Red River basin meet several tributary systems. Small rural communities like Powell and Shay are situated on the higher ground north of the reservoir, connected by a network of local roads such as Cemetery Rd and Shay Rd. The geography here is defined by the significant fingers of the lake that reach northward along Buncombe Cr and Brier Cr.

Family history researchers will find several well-documented burial grounds including Powell Cem, Shay Cem, and Willis Cem. These sites, along with the locations of Fobb and Willis, provide anchor points for those tracing the development of this lakeside region. The map also detail various drainages like Sandy Cr and Limestone Cr, illustrating the complex shoreline that characterizes this portion of Oklahoma.
