About this map

Shiloh and Falcon anchor this section of Lafayette County, where the landscape is defined by a network of creeks and active energy production. The area is marked by several oil and gas operations, including the Falcon Oil and Gas Field, Stamps Oil and Gas Field, and Shiloh Oil and Gas Field, indicating a local economy tied to subsurface resources. Cultural landmarks like the Shiloh Lookout Tower and multiple burial grounds such as Clark Cemetery and Falcon Cemetery provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians.

Drainage is dominated by Clear Creek and Bodcau Creek, with smaller tributaries like Tucker Branch and Jones Branch feeding into the lowlands. The presence of Wilson Lake and Marlers Lake, both controlled by dams, suggests a managed water system designed for the local environment. A complex grid of county roads, such as County Rd-101 and County Rd-2, connects these dispersed settlements and industrial sites across the varied terrain.
