About this map

Simon Creek and its tributary, North Simon Creek, dominate the drainage patterns of this South Central Oklahoma landscape during the late 1960s. The terrain transitions from the lowlands near Sandy Creek in the west toward the prominent Brushy Mountain in the southwest corner. The intersection of Carter and Love counties is marked by dispersed rural landmarks, including the Post Oak community and family-named burial grounds like Morgan Cem and Simon Cem.

Evidence of the region's petroleum economy is visible through multiple Pipeline corridors and scattered Oil Well sites, particularly around the northern Hewitt township area. The rural infrastructure of the era is further defined by narrow valleys like Townley Hollow and small-scale water management represented by a localized Reservoir, reflecting the agricultural and industrial balance of the Burney vicinity.
