About this map

Loco stands as the central hub of this 1970s landscape, positioned near the intersection of local routes in Stephens County. The map captures the region's heavy reliance on the energy sector, dominated by the expansive Loco Field and various clusters of Oil Wells that pepper the terrain. To the south, the settlement of Asphaltum and the Price Earl region indicate further geological and industrial activity.

The area's drainage is defined by several seasonal waterways, including Pine Creek and Negro Creek, which carve through the territory between low ridges. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Mountain Grove Cem and Loco Cem provides vital reference points for tracing early families in the rural Oklahoma interior. The infrastructure of the era is represented by a Substation and Sewage Disposal Ponds, reflecting the small-town utilities serving the Loco community.
