About this map

The Canadian River cuts a wide, meandering path through this borderland of Hughes and Pittsburg counties, defining the region's topography and drainage patterns. The settlement of Lamar sits in the northwest, serving as a focal point for the rural road network that follows section lines across the undulating terrain. Genealogists will find the Lamar Cem just north of the townsite, providing a significant touchstone for family history in this part of Oklahoma.

Water management and natural drainage are central to the landscape, with numerous named tributaries such as Gobbler Creek and Sandy Cr feeding into the main river valley. The Perry S Burleson Reservoir stands out as a primary man-made feature, while Scipio Cr and Big Wildhorse Cr wind through the southeastern portion of the map, illustrating the complex network of creeks that once supported early livestock and farming operations in these rural townships.
