About this map

Lake Texoma and the Washita River dominate this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating a region defined by extensive water management and federal conservation. The map highlights the vast Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge and the Chickasaw Nat Recreation Area, underscoring the shift from purely agricultural land to recreational and protected spaces. Regional infrastructure is anchored by the Indian Nation Turnpike and long-standing rail lines like the Missouri-Kansas-Texas RR.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous small settlements such as Wapanucka, Milburn, and Mannsville across the county lines of Johnston, Marshall, and Atoka. Notable institutional landmarks include the State Veterans Hospital and the Durant State Fish Hatchery. The presence of numerous artesian sources like Byrds Mill Spring and Rock Spring suggests the enduring geological character that has drawn people to this part of Oklahoma for generations.
