About this map

Okemah serves as the focal point of this 2009 survey, revealing a landscape deeply influenced by petroleum extraction and water management. The surrounding terrain is densely patterned with energy production sites, including the Northwest Okemah Oil and Gas Field, Morse Oil Field, and the Midwest Oil and Gas Field. This industrial footprint is interspersed with numerous small-scale water projects, indicated by a series of numbered dams and reservoirs like Oknoname 107008 Reservoir.

Genealogists will find several notable burial grounds such as Highland Cemetery north of the town center, along with Buckeye Cemetery and Ebenezer Cemetery in the outlying sections. The transport network is characterized by a precise grid of county roads, while local aviation is represented by the Okemah Flying Field and the adjacent Airport Lake Dam. Natural drainage is provided by several waterways, most notably Buckeye Creek and Nuyaka Creek, which carve through the Oklahoma prairie.
