About this map

Chickasaw National Recreation Area and the waters of Lake of the Arbuckles anchor this part of Murray County. In the north, the town of Sulphur sits adjacent to a concentration of mineral springs including Bromide Spring, Sulphur Asphalt Spring, and Cliff Bromide Springs. This hydrographic pattern indicates the area's long-standing importance for both recreation and natural resources, centered around the Rock Creek drainage and high points like Bromide Hill and Mt Airy.

To the south, the settlement of Drake and numerous local roads such as Ranch Rd and Cyrus Harris Rd delineate the rural transition toward the Johnston County line. Genealogists can locate several burial sites, including Drake Cem, Buckhorn Cem, and Fletcher Cem. The landscape is further defined by a series of water management features, notably the Mill Creek Watershed 16 Reservoir and its companion impoundments to the east.
