About this map

The town of Hunter anchors this section of Garfield County, defined by a grid of rural roads and a significant energy extraction presence. The landscape is characterized by its agricultural layout, punctuated by the West Salt Fork Oil Field in the northeast and the South Hunter Oil and Gas Field further south. These industrial features sit alongside more traditional landmarks, such as the Mt Pleasant Cem and White Cem, which provide valuable location data for genealogists tracing local families.

Water management is central to the area's geography, visible through several engineered catchments. Features like the Upper Red Rock Cr Site 24 Reservoir and Upper Red Rock Cr Site 25 Reservoir manage the drainage into Red Rock Cr. These reservoirs, along with Thompson Lake, highlight the intersection of the region's natural hydrology with local land-use requirements during this era of 21st-century Oklahoma development.
