About this map

Diamond Mountains and Sans Bois Mountain dominate this landscape where the borders of Haskell, Latimer, and Le Flore counties converge. In the late 1960s, the region was characterized by its energy extraction, notably within the Red Oak Norris Gas Field and Kennady Field, where numerous Gas Wells and a network of pipelines crossed the valley floor. Small, persistent settlements such as Norris, Walls, and Milton served the rural population, while local spiritual and familial history is anchored by Rosedale Ch and Norris Cem. The terrain is marked by traditional watercourses like Brazil Creek and Cedar Creek, alongside industrial traces like a Strip Mine and a Jeep Trail that cut through the elevations, reflecting a mid-century balance between a timber-and-range economy and expanding natural gas infrastructure.
