About this map

Wapanucka and the small town of Bromide anchor this Johnston County landscape during a period of extensive water management and conservation. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Delaware Creek and its many tributaries, such as Walnut Branch and Little Delaware Creek. A dense network of watershed dams, including several sites along Delaware Creek and Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site 10 Dam, illustrates the regional effort to control runoff across the rural plains.

Local heritage is preserved through landmarks like the Chickasaw Rock Academy and the central Clarita Post Office. Genealogists will find notable points of interest at Rose Hill Cemetery, Moore Cemetery, and Wells Valley Cemetery, which are scattered among the grid of rural roads and section lines. The presence of Sulphur Springs and Wide Springs near the town of Bromide further highlights the natural hydrology that influenced early settlement patterns in this part of Oklahoma.
