About this map

The town of Asher serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated at the convergence of several local roads including Old Hwy 18 and W Main St. The settlement pattern reflects the area's dual identity as both an agricultural and industrial territory, where residential grids give way to widespread energy extraction. The prevalence of the Asher Oil Field, along with the West Asher Oil Field and North Rover Oil Field, indicates a region deeply tied to the petroleum industry during this early 21st-century period.

Waterways define the natural boundaries and topography, with the Canadian River cutting through the southern half of the map. This river is fed by numerous tributaries such as Julian Cr, Cat Cr, and Big Cr. Local history is anchored by features like the Cook Cem and the small community of Chism, offering vital points of interest for genealogists and researchers tracking family land and early settlements in Pottawatomie County.
