About this map

The small rural settlements of Tegarden and Cora anchor this part of Woods County, where the plains are deeply dissected by a network of seasonal watercourses. The landscape is defined by the branching drainages of Whitehorse Cr, Eagle Chief Cr, and Turkey Cr, creating a complex system of draws and ridges that dictated the placement of local roads. Many of these thoroughfares follow section lines, such as Harper Rd and Harmon Rd, while others trace the high ground between the creek beds.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Whitehorse Cem north of the primary East-West highway, serving as a quiet marker of the community's early settlement. The map illustrates the persistent 19th-century Public Land Survey System grid, with townships including T27N R16W and T28N R17W clearly delineated. This area remains primarily agricultural, with the terrain's natural contours resisting the perfectly straight lines of the surrounding Oklahoma plains.
