About this map

The Arbuckle Mountains dominate the northeastern reaches of this 1980s landscape, providing a geological backdrop to a region defined by extensive petroleum extraction and recreational development. Extensive energy infrastructure is evident through the Palacine Oil Field, Sholem Alechem Oil Field, and Tatums Oil Field, while settlements like Oil City and Asphaltum further reflect the industrial heritage of southern Oklahoma.

Transit networks are anchored by the Oklahoma Kansas and Texas RR and the At & SF RR, which serve established towns such as Ardmore, Healdon, and Gene Autry. Beyond the industrial centers, the map details significant natural and recreational assets, including Lake Murray State Park, Turner Falls Park, and the Chickasaw National Recreation Area. Numerous small rural communities and named watercourses like Caddo Creek and Hickory Creek provide a granular view of the county boundaries between Carter, Stephens, and Love.
