About this map

The Blue River and West Blue River carve a deep drainage network through this portion of Oklahoma, where the local economy centers on mineral extraction and agriculture. Industrial activity is concentrated in the northeast at the Fittstown Oil Field, while numerous quarries dot the eastern ridges. The small settlement of Fittstown serves as a local hub, supported by smaller hamlets such as Franks, which sits near the headwaters of Walnut Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks across the landscape, including family and community burial grounds like Brown Cem, Colley Cem, and Franks Cem. The presence of Sunshine Ch and Byrds Mill Spring provides insight into the spiritual and physical water sources that sustained these rural communities. The southern boundary follows the Pontotoc Co Johnston Co line and the Base Line, marking the jurisdictional transition in this central Oklahoma region.
