About this map

Marshall serves as the primary hub of activity in this northern Oklahoma landscape, situated near the southwestern edge of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Otter Creek and Crows Nest Creek, which cut through the agricultural and industrial landscape. The map reveals a region heavily shaped by petroleum extraction, with several Oil Field notations and specific sites such as an Oil Well and a Drill Hole indicating the energy production that dominated the local economy during the mid-1970s.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the placement of rural landmarks like Bethel Cem and Bocox Cem, which provide clues to the settlement patterns of families in Garfield and Logan counties. The boundary between Garfield Co and Logan Co runs horizontally across the southern third of the map, illustrating how these administrative lines intersect with natural features like Elkhorn Creek and Spring Creek.
