About this map

Wardville serves as the primary hub of this 1960s survey, situated where the borders of Atoka, Pittsburg, and Coal counties converge. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, with Salt Prairie Creek and Birch Creek winding through the northern sections while Rabbit Creek and Keel Creek flow toward the south. The terrain is categorized by distinct regions like Jackson Prairie and the Stringtown area, which reflect the cattle and ranching heritage of this part of Oklahoma.

Local family history is rooted in the presence of several established burial grounds and spiritual centers, including King Cem, Kelly Cem (1), and the Lone Star Cem located near Lone Star Ch. Economic activity of the era is evident through scattered infrastructure, including several Gas Wells and a Pipeline that traverses the ridges. This map provides a clear record of the rural crossroads and small-scale energy developments that characterized the region before later shifts in land use.
