About this map

Tatums, a historic town in Carter County, sits at the heart of this landscape where the eastern plains meet the foothills of the Arbuckle Mountains. The map reveals a community defined by its rural layout and strong local heritage, evidenced by several family and town burial sites including Tatums Cem, Monk Cem, and the Oil Spring Cem to the north. These landmarks provide essential waypoints for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of this region.

A complex network of waterways, such as Wildhorse Cr, Russell Pretty Br, and Caddo Cr, drains the area, shaping the placement of long-established section roads like Longview Rd and Poolville Rd. To the southeast, the settlement of Pooleville is anchored by the Pooleville Cem, while the small community of Alpers marks the northeastern corner of the quadrangle. The map details a mix of modern named roads and historic land divisions, documenting the persistent rural character of southern Oklahoma.
