About this map

Reeding serves as the primary focal point for this rural Oklahoma landscape, which is marked by a transition from traditional agriculture to energy production in the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by the presence of an expansive Oil Field and multiple individual Oil Wells, particularly concentrated in the Grant and Logan boundary areas. The industrial infrastructure is further evidenced by a prominent Pumping Station and a major Pipeline crossing the northern sections.

For family historians, the sheet preserves the locations of three local burial grounds: Pleasant Valley Cem, Grimes Cem, and Clear Creek Cem. Traces of older transportation networks are visible in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the central township. The drainage pattern, including Bird Creek, Walnut Creek, and Campbell Creek, underscores the geographic layout that governed early land claims and the eventual division into townships like Lynn and Downs.
