About this map

The North Canadian River meanders through this section of Okfuskee County, defining a landscape shaped by both natural hydrology and intensive energy extraction. The region is heavily marked by its carbon history, with expansive operations such as the Bearden Oil and Gas Field, Papoose Oil Field, and East Bearden Oil Field dotting the terrain. These industrial features sit alongside a network of rural roads, including E 1140 Rd and N 3730 Rd, which connect long-standing community landmarks.

Water management is a primary feature of the southern reaches, where Little Wewoka Creek is regulated by a series of numbered flood control structures, including the Little Wewoka Creek Site 7 Dam and Little Wewoka Creek Site 10 Dam. For those researching local family history, several burial grounds are preserved across the quadrangle, notably High Spring Cemetery, Rock Creek Cemetery, and Shiloh Cemetery, providing anchor points for genealogical study in this Oklahoma interior.
