2016 Map of Shay

About this map

Lake Texoma dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, its expansive shoreline defining the geography of Marshall County near the Texas border. The map documents a rural transition where upland terrain meets the water, characterized by several small communities and the inlets of Buncombe Cr and Sandy Cr. For local historians and genealogists, the survey preserves the locations of foundational burial grounds including Powell Cem, Shay Cem, and Willis Cem, each associated with its respective eponymous settlement. The area around Fobb and the lowlands of Fobb Bottom show a network of local roads such as Keeton Rd and Fobb Bottom Rd that reflect long-standing property lines and land use patterns in this part of Oklahoma.
