About this map

Chitwood serves as a central point in this part of Grady County, where industrial development and rural community life intersect during the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by the extensive drainage systems of Roaring Creek, including its Middle and East branches, which carve through the Oklahoma terrain. Evidence of the local energy economy is prominent throughout the quadrangle, with numerous Oil Wells and a significant Refinery located near the northern settlements.

Social and community landmarks like Vimy Ridge Ch provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in the Rush Springs and Harrison districts. The map also captures the path of a major Pipeline cutting across the southeastern corner, illustrating the infrastructure required to transport the region's petroleum resources from the surrounding oil fields to broader markets.
