About this map

The North Canadian River meanders through the central landscape of this Oklahoma survey, defining the terrain between Hickory Ridge and the Okfuskee-Hughes county line. This era in the late 1960s is characterized by significant energy extraction, with the Bearden Oil and Gas Field and Papoose Oil Field spanning large portions of the rural acreage.

Social and community life is anchored by dispersed country churches and schools, such as Lone Star Sch and Thlopthlocco Ch. The map provides specific locations for genealogy research at Rock Creek Cem and High Spring Cem. Water management is evident in the south, where Wetumka Lake and Little Wewoka Creek shape the local drainage, while numerous oil and gas wells dot the uplands north of Stanley Lake.
