About this map

Harrisburg stands at the center of this Oklahoma landscape, where the traditional grid of rural section roads meets the industrial footprint of the Southern Plains. The area is defined by its energy and agricultural history, visible through the extensive Northwest Palacine Oil Field and the West Velma Oil Field to the east. These industrial zones are balanced by quiet local landmarks like Stoner Cem and Weaver Chapel Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists and local historians.

The hydrology of the region is dominated by the forks of Mud Creek, including E Mud Cr and W Mud Cr, which drain the rolling terrain south toward Deer Cr. To the north, the Wildhorse Creek Site 18 Reservoir serves as a significant water feature near Old Hwy 7. The intersection of nature and nomenclature is further evidenced at Weed Hollow, situated among a network of routes like Sunray Rd and the whimsically named Doctor Pepper Rd.
