About this map

Southeast Chaney Dell Oil Field dominates the central landscape of this Oklahoma survey, highlighting the active petroleum and natural gas extraction of the late 1960s. Scattered oil and gas wells are interspersed across a terrain defined by named areas such as Round Grove and Helena. This region, crossing the boundary between Alfalfa and Major counties, reveals a deeply rooted community infrastructure centered around rural crossroads and spiritual centers like Wildwood Ch and Missionary Ch.

Evidence of early 20th-century settlement patterns is visible through the presence of several small cemeteries, including Square Cedar Cem, Free Home Cem, and Forrest Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. In the north, the small settlement of Carwile anchors the map, while Indian Creek drains the southeastern corner, reflecting the balance between the area's agricultural roots and its industrial energy development.
