About this map

The town of Deer Creek serves as the primary hub of this north-central Oklahoma landscape, defined by a rigid grid of rural section roads and a network of winding waterways. Several small family and community burial grounds, including Saint Marys Cem, Darland Cem, and Bayard Cem, are scattered across the plains, offering specific points of interest for genealogical research in Grant County.

The drainage patterns of the region are dominated by Big Antelope Cr and Little Antelope Cr, which meander between the agricultural plots. To the west, the small settlement of Numa sits along the section lines, while the South Deer Creek Oil Field in the eastern portion of the map indicates the local importance of the petroleum industry. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape where modern infrastructure and energy extraction coexist with the original settlement patterns of the Oklahoma plains.
