2012 Map of Shoals

About this map

The Red River marks the southern edge of this Oklahoma landscape, where the settlements of Fallon, Ord, and Shoals are connected by a strictly geometric grid of county roads. For genealogists and local historians, the area is defined by its small community burial grounds, including Shoat Springs Cem, Jones Cem, and Durant Cem, which are scattered throughout the agricultural plots north of the river. The terrain is drained by a series of southward-flowing waterways such as Carney Cr, Owl Cr, and Horse Cr. The proximity of Mt Olivet Cem near the northern boundary suggests a transition toward larger regional hubs, while the map's fine detail on rural routes like Spring Hill Rd and Grant Town Rd reveals the persistent network of local commerce and community life in this portion of Choctaw County.
