About this map

Clearview stands as a focal point in this 1960s survey of Okfuskee County, situated above the winding path of Alabama Creek. The landscape is a complex intersection of rural settlement and industrial extraction, dominated by numerous petroleum operations including the Morse Oil and Gas Field and the Okemah Oil Field. This era of the Oklahoma interior is marked by the presence of local landmarks such as Creek Chapel and Salt Creek Ch, which served the community alongside the Clearview Cem.

Evidence of changing transportation patterns is visible in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the terrain, reflecting the transition from rail to highway and pipeline infrastructure. The topography is defined by significant rises like Hickory Ridge, while numerous oil and gas fields, including the Deaner Oil Field and Lyons-Quinn Oil and Gas Field, underscore the region's heavy reliance on the energy sector during the mid-20th century.
