2018 Map of Shay

About this map

Lake Texoma dominates the southern landscape of this Marshall County region, its fingers reaching north into the drainages of Buncombe Cr and Sandy Cr. The map documents the rural settlement patterns around Powell and Shay, where small communities are anchored by their respective burial grounds, such as Powell Cem and Shay Cem. Near the shoreline, Willis and Fobb sit above the lowlands of Fobb Bottom, an area defined by a dense network of local roads including Fobb Bottom Rd and Keaton Branch Rd. The terrain is marked by a transition from upland prairies to the dissected creek valleys that feed the reservoir, illustrating the contemporary intersection of agriculture and water management in southern Oklahoma.
