About this map

Sulphur and the rural community of Drake anchor this Murray County landscape, which is defined by a complex network of water management and recreation at the start of the 2010s. The northern edge features landmarks like Robbers Roost Hill and Bromide Hill, overlooking the Little Niagara Dam. Central to the geography is the Lake of the Arbuckles, a major reservoir fed by tributaries such as Buckhorn Creek and Dry Branch.

Evidence of local history and family genealogy is preserved at Buckhorn Cemetery, Fletcher Cemetery, and Drake Cemetery. The map documents a rural infrastructure reliant on water control, as seen in the numerous watershed structures including Mill Creek Watershed 16 Dam and Mill Creek Watershed 8 Dam. This pattern of dams and creeks like Chili Creek and Oil Creek illustrates how the Arbuckle region's hydrology was shaped for both utility and leisure, notably surrounding the Goddard Youth Camp RD.
