About this map

The southern slopes of the Arbuckle Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Carter County quadrangle, where the terrain drops sharply toward the drainage basins of the south. At the foot of these elevations, Henry House Falls sits along Henry House Creek, near a large Quarry that signifies the area's industrial activity. To the south, the settlement of Springer serves as a local hub, situated near the headwaters of Buzzard Creek.

A network of watercourses including Caddo Creek, Sullivan Creek, and Grindstone Creek carves through the southern half of the map, illustrating the intricate hydrology of the region. Notable landmarks of the mid-20th century are captured here, such as the Drag Strip east of the mountains and the Rice Cem to the south. The mapping also records the legacy of land division in Oklahoma, clearly marking the Indian Meridian along the western edge of the survey.
