About this map

The Little River meanders across the heart of this Pottawatomie County landscape, carving a low-lying valley that separates the northern agricultural reaches from the southern oil-producing districts. This 2012 survey reveals an area defined by its energy and extraction history, anchored by the Morvin Oil Field and the South Macomb Oil Field. Small rural settlements like Macomb, Morvin, and Burnett serve as local centers for the surrounding network of farm-to-market roads, while several family and community burial grounds, including Highland Cem and Prospect Cem, provide important touchstones for local genealogists.

The topography is further defined by secondary watercourses like Council Cr and Sand Cr, which drain toward the Little River. Distinctive landmarks such as Indian Spgs and Turkey Hl rise above the section lines, punctuating a terrain where industrial sites like the West Morvin Oil Field sit alongside established rural homesteads. This map illustrates the intersection of traditional Oklahoma ranchland with the modern infrastructure of the regional petroleum industry.
