About this map

The community of Cole and the outlying portions of Goldsby define this McClain County landscape in the mid-1960s. The topography is shaped by the drainage systems of Walnut Creek and its North Fork, alongside Buffalo Creek and Dibble Creek. This area was a significant corridor for petroleum extraction, evidenced by the extensive Washington Oil Field, West Washington Oil Field, and the North Dibble Field.

Genealogists and local historians will find the location of the Iron Chapel church and the Dibble Cem essential for tracing family roots in the townships of Victor and Golbert. The presence of multiple gravel pits and numerous individual oil wells across the terrain reflects the industrial activity of the period, while the Cole Corporate Boundary and Goldsby Corporate Boundary illustrate the early municipal footprints of these central Oklahoma towns.
