About this map

The Cimarron River winds prominently through this section of the Oklahoma oil patch, carving a wide valley between the settlements of Oilton and Markham. The landscape is a network of section roads and river bends, where smaller communities like Pemeta, Frey, and Player mark the historical footprint of the region's petroleum-driven development. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the northern edges of Drumright appear alongside several significant burial grounds, including Drumright North Cem and Oak Hill Cem, providing important points of reference for genealogical research.

Terrain features such as Monitor Hill rise above the river plains, while Hilltop Airport sits on the higher ground to the northeast. The map documents a rural transition where many small-town residential grids, such as those at Oilton, meet the drainage patterns of Euchee Creek, Buckeye Creek, and Deer Cr. This record of the 2010s shows the continued integration of the historic state highway system with local routes like Old State Hwy 99.
