2012 Map of Tatums

About this map

Tatums, a historically significant community in Oklahoma, sits at the center of this rural landscape where numerous tributaries feed into larger creek systems. The geography is defined by the managed waters of the Wildhorse and Caddo Creek watersheds, including Wildhorse Creek Site 11 Reservoir and Comanche Lake. These reservoirs reflect the mid-to-late 20th-century water management efforts in Carter County. For researchers, the map provides a precise layout of rural roads like Pollville Rd and Delta Rd, linking the small settlements of Pooleville and Alpers. Several family or community burial grounds, such as Tatus Cem and Oil Spring Cem, remain as focal points for local genealogy and history, scattered across the terrain near Bear Cr and Flat Cr.
