About this map

Harmon sits at the center of this rural Oklahoma landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding plains of Ellis and Woodward counties. The 1970 field check reveals an economy defined by resource extraction, featuring a localized Oil Refinery, scattered Gas Wells, and a dedicated Oil Field situated along Turkey Creek. This intersection of agriculture and energy is marked by industrial infrastructure like the prominent Pipeline and a local Sandpit.

Cultural and historical layers are etched into the terrain, most notably the Old Indian Treaty Boundary that bisects the map, delineating historic land divisions. Genealogists can trace local heritage at the Harmon Cem, while the drainage patterns of Boggy Creek and North Persimmon Creek suggest the natural contours that dictated early settlement. The presence of multiple radio towers underscores the connectivity of this rural ranching and energy district during the late twentieth century.
