About this map

The Allen Oil Field dominates the landscape of southern Pontotoc and Hughes counties, characterized by a dense network of infrastructure including a Refinery, Gas Well sites, and numerous Oil Wells. The town of Allen sits at the heart of this industrial activity, serving as a local hub near the Canadian River. Further east, the settlement of Newburg and landmarks like the McCall Sch provide evidence of the rural community's footprint during the mid-1960s.

Tracing the northern portion of the map, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts across the terrain, a significant historical marker separating tribal lands. Cultural sites such as Greenleaf Cem, Tea Cem, and the youth camp at Camp Sasakwa are scattered throughout the wooded draws and ridges between Little River and the Canadian. The topography is defined by prominent elevations like Little River Hill and Osage Hill, overlooking the river bottoms and the resource-rich plains of the Bilby area.
