About this map

The Graham Oil Field and Hewitt Oil Field dominate this 1969 Oklahoma landscape, revealing a region deeply defined by the petroleum industry. Numerous oil and gas wells are scattered across the terrain, interspersed with local centers like Graham, Fox, and Clemscott. The infrastructure of extraction is evident through the network of pipelines and the presence of a dedicated Landing Strip, while the community’s social fabric is anchored by landmarks such as Midway Ch and the Oil Springs Cem.

Watercourses like Caddo Creek and the curiously named Hug-me-tight Branch provide drainage through the oil-rich sectors. The map also captures small-scale local amenities, including a designated Picnic Area and Gravel Pit, reflecting a rural economy where industrial activity and residential life coexisted in the late 1960s. For genealogists, the documented locations of small settlements and churches provide a specific spatial context for family history in Carter Co.
