2010 Map of Criner

About this map

Criner and Payne anchor this agricultural and energy-producing landscape in McClain County during the early 21st century. The map reveals an extensive system of watershed management, defined by numerous dams and impoundments including Criner Creek Site 5 Dam and Finn Creek Site 22 Dam. This infrastructure supports the surrounding rural community where section-line roads like Meridian Ave and Western Ave create a rigid grid across the undulating terrain. Local economic activity is clearly marked by several petroleum extraction zones, such as the Northeast Criner Oil Field and the Southwest Criner Oil Field. These fields, alongside the Southeast Curty Oil Field and Payne Oil Field, illustrate the region's reliance on subterranean resources integrated within its ranching and farming footprint.
