About this map

The town of Davis anchors this mid-century survey of south-central Oklahoma, showcasing a landscape transitioning between traditional agriculture and intensive petroleum extraction. The local economy is visibly defined by the Northeast Davis Oil Field, Chigley Oil Field, and Northwest Sulphur Oil Field, with numerous Oil Wells and a Gas Well scattered across the terrain. Public life centers around the High Sch and Post Office in Davis, while the rural landscape is dotted with smaller communities like Chigley and Iona.

Water management and industrial infrastructure are prominent, evidenced by the southern edge of the Arbuckle Reservoir and several named waterways including Sandy Creek and Guy Sandy Creek. Transportation history is marked by the presence of an Old RR Grade, tracing a path that was once vital for moving local goods. For those researching local families, the Sandy Ch Cem and numerous named terrain features like Leeper and Lowrance provide important geographical markers of land ownership and community development.
