About this map

Sans Bois Mountains dominate the southern half of this landscape, where the county line between Pittsburg and Latimer Counties cuts through the high ridges. In the late 1960s, the northern portion of the quadrangle shows a concentrated energy landscape defined by the Quinton Gas Field. Numerous Gas Wells are scattered across the valley floor, linked by a significant Pipeline that runs parallel to the Railroad and Sans Bois Creek.

Settlement is concentrated along the northern corridor near Featherston and the outskirts of Quinton. Local community landmarks include Bascom Ch and the Featherston Cem, providing important anchor points for family historians. The terrain is deeply carved by water, with Heifer Creek, Cedar Creek, and Hornback Creek draining the slopes of Shoe Mountain. An industrial footprint is visible near the mountains at the Shale Pit, suggesting the extractive economy of the region alongside its natural gas production.
