About this map

The oil-rich landscape of Carter County is documented here during a period of modern industrial and rural transition. Small communities like Fox and Graham anchor the northern landscape, while Oil City and the northern edge of Healdton mark the southern reach of the quadrangle. The naming of landmarks such as Oil Springs Cem and the various tributaries of Caddo Cr, including Hug-me-tight Br, reflects the local vernacular and the historical importance of water resources in this part of Oklahoma.

Modern infrastructure, including the Healdton Municipal Airport, exists alongside a dense network of country roads such as Convict Hill Rd and Samedan Rd. Several reservoirs, such as Caddo Creek Site 23 Reservoir, demonstrate the managed water systems necessary for both agriculture and industry. This survey provides a clear view of the area's rural settlement patterns, showing the proximity of family cemeteries like Graham Cem to the evolving roadway network.
