About this map

Empire City and the neighboring settlements of Gas City and Comanche are central to this landscape in Stephens County, Oklahoma. The terrain is characterized by a high concentration of water management features, including numbered reservoirs like 137089 Reservoir, 137017 Reservoir, and the Cora Creek Site 35 Reservoir. These man-made impoundments are distributed across a network of drainages such as Walker Creek, Little Beaver Creek, and Dry Creek, suggesting a heavy reliance on surface water storage for local agriculture or industry.

A grid-based road system, including routes like Refinery Rd and Dr Pepper Rd, connects these scattered water sources with residential and commercial centers. For genealogists and local historians, the Oak Grove Cem remains a significant landmark near the center of the survey area, providing a fixed point of reference among the changing residential developments and industrial corridors of the mid-2010s.
