About this map

Wardville sits at the convergence of several county lines in this late 1960s survey, marking a transition point between the Jackson Prairie and the ridgelines of Stringtown. This landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where North Boggy Creek and Rabbit Creek flow through the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. The map reveals a rural economy supported by scattered energy and mineral extraction, indicated by numerous Gas Wells and a Gravel Pit.

Local family history and genealogy are anchored by several established sites, including King Cem in the northwest and Kelly Cem to the south. The community center of Lone Star Ch and the adjacent Lone Star Cem serve as notable landmarks for researchers tracing the mid-century settlement patterns of Atoka, Coal, and Pittsburg Counties. The map’s fine red dashed lines provide additional detail, representing field lines and fences that delineate the agricultural use of the land between the creeks.
