About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary bisects this rural landscape of the high plains, providing a historical dividing line between the early territorial townships of Austin, Irwin, Benton, and Parkman. The small community of Harmon serves as a local anchor, centered near the Harmon Cem and reflecting the settlement patterns of northwestern Oklahoma during the mid-twentieth century.

Economic activity is clearly defined by the infrastructure of the energy industry, with an Oil Refinery, numerous Gas Well sites, and an extensive Pipeline network cutting through the Oil Field south of Turkey Creek. Waterways like Boggy Creek and North Persimmon Creek offer the primary relief in a terrain otherwise marked by resource extraction and land surveying, including a prominent Sandpit and several Radio Tower installations used for communication across these wide-open spaces.
