About this map

Tishomingo and the neighboring settlement of Ravia anchor this southern Oklahoma landscape where the Washita River meets the northern reaches of Lake Texoma. As the Johnston County seat, Tishomingo is characterized by its organized street grid and the central campus of Murray State Coll. The terrain is shaped by numerous water bodies and small-scale water management, including Whiskey Creek Reservoir, Reeves Ravine Reservoir, and Cottonwood Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community burial grounds, such as Shady Grove Cem, Tishomingo Cem, and the more isolated Linn Cem to the southeast. The map also highlights the aviation footprint of the region with McDaniel Aviation and the Tishomingo Airpark near the riverbanks. To the west, Teller Mtn rises above Whisky Cr, marking a more dissected landscape before the land flattens toward the wide river valley and the expansive wetlands surrounding Lost Lake.
