About this map

The Canadian River carves a sweeping arc through this landscape, defining the boundaries between Pottawatomie, Seminole, and Pontotoc counties. This 1958 survey, updated with 1970s photogrammetric data, reveals a region defined by its rural infrastructure and petroleum heritage. In the north, the historic settlement of Sacred Heart stands near the headwaters of Young Creek, while the town of Konawa serves as a central hub along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line.

Industry and local life are interwoven across the terrain, with extensive drilling operations noted in the Gray Oil Field, Grayson Field, and Sledge Field. Rural community centers are anchored by landmarks like Antioch Ch, Maxwell Ch, and several family and community burial grounds including Vista Cem and Konawa Cem. The map's detail preserves the complex network of pipelines and aqueducts that supported the mid-century economy of the Oklahoma interior.
