About this map

The rolling oil fields of north-central Garvin County are captured here just before the 1970s energy boom. The landscape is dominated by the industrial infrastructure of the Lindsay Field, where a dense network of Oil Wells and a central Refinery contrast with the rural character of the Antioch community. The town of Elmore City anchors the southern edge of the map, featuring its Waterworks and municipal structures.

Hydrological and topographic features define the surrounding terrain, from the prominent Table Hill to the branching drainage of Rush Creek and West Rock Creek. Small-scale aviation and local utility infrastructure are evident via the Landing Strip and a Substation, while the Antioch Cem provides a fixed point for genealogical research. This survey illustrates the specialized land use of the era, where agricultural grazing land and petroleum extraction shared the same Oklahoma red-dirt ridges.
