1972 Map of Loyal NW

About this map

Otter Creek and Cooper Creek meander across this section of the Oklahoma prairie, defining a landscape marked by the mid-century expansion of the energy industry. The boundary between Blaine Co and Kingfisher Co bisects the terrain, which is dotted with numerous Oil Wells and a significant Oil Field in the eastern portion of the survey. These industrial features sit alongside established rural landmarks, including the Lomega Sch and several family or community burial grounds. The settlement pattern is largely agricultural, with larger geographic divisions such as Wells, Seay, and Cedar Valley organizing the countryside. Notable for genealogists are the scattered cemeteries like Venable Cem and the Seventh Day Adventist Cem, which provide specific points of reference for the families who settled this region during the early to mid-20th century.
