About this map

The town of Asher serves as the primary hub in this Pottawatomie County landscape, situated just north of a significant bend in the Canadian River. This era of the region is defined by its energy production, evidenced by a series of named petroleum resources including the Asher Oil Field, West Asher Oil Field, and Rover Oil Field. These fields are scattered across a terrain drained by numerous watercourses such as Cat Creek, Chism Creek, and Big Creek.

Local history is preserved at Cook Cemetery, located south of town along Cooke Dr. The map detail captures the rural road network, from named routes like Old Chism Rd and Harvest Ave to a grid of county roads. The landscape transition from the river bottomlands to the surrounding plains is marked by a complex system of drainage, with Pond Creek and Julian Creek feeding into the larger river valley, illustrating the environmental context of these Oklahoma oil-producing lands.
