2012 Map of Okemah

About this map

Okemah serves as the central hub of this Oklahoma landscape, which is defined by a dense network of petroleum extraction sites and numerous family and community burial grounds. The territory surrounding the town is heavily marked by the energy industry, with significant operations at the Okemah Oil Field, Midwest Oil and Gas Field, and East Castle Oil Field. The grid of the town site is bounded by the Okemah Flying Field Airport to the east and the modern corridor of Interstate 40 to the south, while the N Canadian River winds through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Genealogists will find a high density of small cemeteries scattered across the rural sections, including Highland Cem, Prairie Springs Cem, and the Wind Family Cem, reflecting the area's deep-rooted settlement history. Numerous creeks like Nuyaka Cr and Yhola Cr provide the primary drainage for these oil-rich lands.
