2011 Map of Melvin
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
Melvin Oil Field and the Bucatunna Creek Oil Field define the industrial landscape of this Choctaw County region, where petroleum extraction sits alongside deeply rooted rural communities. The settlement of Melvin serves as a central point, surrounded by family-named landmarks and several churchyards including Zion Chapel Cemetery and Mount Pisgah Cemetery. The drainage patterns are significant here, with Okatuppa Creek and Biddys Creek carving through the terrain towards the East Langsdale Oil Field in the southwest corner. The network of county roads, such as CO Hwy 14 and Co RD 630, connects smaller locales like Evansboro and Water Valley, illustrating a settlement pattern that balances timber and mineral interests with established residential pockets.
