About this map

The town of Byars serves as the primary hub in this corner of McClain County, anchored by several neighborhood cemeteries that speak to the area’s genealogy. From Byars Cem in the north to Clabber Flats Cem and Abney Cem further south, the landscape is divided by a rigid grid of section roads like N3340 Rd and E1510 Rd. The central geography is defined by the Peavine Creek watershed, which has been extensively managed through a series of numbered reservoirs, including Peavine Creek Site 2 Reservoir and Peavine Creek Site 6 Reservoir.

Energy and agriculture intersect near the small settlements of Civit and Boudinot. The presence of the Northeast Civit Oil Field highlights the local extraction industry, while the winding paths of Keel Sandy Cr and Wolf Cr offer a natural contrast to the straight-edged oil lease roads. These details offer a clear look at how water management and mineral rights have shaped the modern footprint of this rural Oklahoma community.
