2013 Map of Avant NW

About this map

Skiatook Lake dominates the southwestern portion of this landscape, its fingers reaching into the surrounding terrain and defining the drainage patterns for numerous local tributaries. In the early 21st century, the economy of this Osage County region remained deeply tied to energy production, as evidenced by the South Barnsdall Oil Field, West Avant Oil Field, and the Wildhorse NE Oil Field. The landscape is marked by natural relief like Cedar Canyon and a complex network of creeks including Bird Cr, Bull Cr, and Lost Cr. Rural infrastructure is highly localized, with names like Bill Dawson's Rd and Pease Ln providing essential clues for genealogists tracking family landholdings and road development in the areas surrounding the lake and oil fields.
