About this map

Empire City and the nearby settlement of Gas City are central to this landscape in Stephens County, where the topography is defined by the drainages of Little Beaver Cr and Walker Cr. The road network follows a rigid section-line grid typical of the region, featuring names like Bois D Arc and Refinery Rd, the latter suggesting the historical industrial ties of the local area. Small, named water bodies including 137089 Reservoir and 137017 Reservoir dot the terrain, providing essential water management for the surrounding rural tracts.

To the southeast, the map transitions toward the outskirts of Comanche and includes the Oak Grove Cem, a primary point of interest for genealogists tracing local family histories. The presence of roads named Seminole Rd and Cherokee Rd reflects the cultural heritage of the territory. This 2022 survey documents a landscape where traditional agricultural and resource-based land use remains evident in the layout of scattered farmsteads and rural infrastructure.
