About this map

Vinson serves as the focal point for this Southwest Oklahoma landscape, situated just south of the Greer Co Harmon Co boundary line. The topography is defined by the erosion of several watercourses, most notably Hackberry Cr in the northwest and the winding path of Cave Cr in the south. A rare geologic landmark, the Vinson Natural Bridge, is located north of the town, illustrating the unique karst or gypsum-rich limestone formations common to this region.

For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for the Hackberry Cem and the Cave Creek Cem, reflecting the early settlement patterns of Greer and Harmon counties. The section lines are clearly marked by a grid of rural roads, including N1740 Rd and E1470 Rd, which follow the township and range system that organized this part of the former Great American Desert into productive ranch and farmland.
