About this map

The Artesian settlement and its surrounding landscape in Calhoun County are defined by a network of drainage systems and petroleum extraction. This 2011 survey illustrates a region where timber and oil drive the local geography, notably within the Artesian Oil Field and the Lloyd Creek Oil Field. The landscape is etched by numerous watercourses, including the central Hurricane Creek and its various tributaries like Hurricane Branch and Rocky Branch.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks such as Faustina Cemetery and Friendship Cemetery, providing essential touchstones for family research. The Artesian Lookout Tower stands as a prominent point of interest in the northern portion of the map, while the settlement of Unco marks the upper reaches of the drainage basin. A dense grid of county roads, such as County Rd-116 and County Rd-35, connects these disparate resource-extraction sites and small communities across the wooded terrain.
