About this map

Covington sits at the heart of this North Central Oklahoma landscape, serving as a hub where the Burlington Northern railroad lines converge. The town's grid is clearly defined, situated just west of the sprawling Oil and Gas Field that dominates the western half of the quadrangle. This 1980s-era survey captures the area's dual character as both a grain-producing agricultural region and an active energy producer, with numerous Oil Wells and a Shale Pit scattered among the sections.

Tracing the waterways reveals Black Bear Creek winding across the northern border and Panther Creek flowing near Hayward in the southeast. Historical markers like the St John Cem and the small settlement at Callahan offer valuable data points for genealogists. The presence of Hayward Lake and the Sew Disp Pond provide insight into the local infrastructure and water management of Garfield and Noble Counties during this period.
