About this map

Avant sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where the confluence of Bird Creek and Candy Creek defines the local topography. This region of northeastern Oklahoma is deeply shaped by its petroleum history, with significant extraction infrastructure visible at the Avant Oil Field, Skiatook Oil Field, and Javine Oil Field. The industrial character of the land is balanced by numerous water management features, including the Avant Water Supply Lake Dam and several numbered reservoirs such as Oknoname 113070.

Genealogists will find interest in the documented burial sites at Avant Cemetery and Lombard Cemetery, which serve as anchors for the rural population. The terrain is a network of creek forks, notably the West Prong Quapaw Creek and East Prong Quapaw Creek, with smaller landmarks like Dripping Spring providing specific points of interest. Roads such as Javine Hill Rd and Old State Hwy 11 connect the scattered homesteads and industrial sites across this Osage County terrain.
