About this map

Cromwell Oil Field and the Northwest Bearden Oil Field dominate the northern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, marking a period where energy extraction defined the local economy at the intersection of Seminole, Okfuskee, and Hughes counties. The settlement of Cromwell serves as a central hub, while smaller communities like Bearden and Butner are preserved with their respective landmarks, including the Bearden Cem and the Butner Ch.

Social and physical geography intersect at the Childrens Home and the Radio Tower near the Lincoln township line. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Sand Creek and Wewoka Creek, alongside prominent elevations such as Red Mound and Bald Mountain. Numerous oil and gas wells, interconnected by an extensive network of pipelines, illustrate the industrial footprint of the era across these Oklahoma hills.
