About this map

The Bald Hill Oil Field dominates this northeastern Oklahoma landscape, reflecting a region deeply tied to the petroleum industry during the early 1970s. The settlement of Bald Hill and the small community at Pumpkin Center serve as local hubs for the surrounding rural townships. Near the center of the sheet, the Antioch Ch and Antioch Cem mark a traditional social gathering point, while the Liberty Sch further south suggests the historical importance of local rural education.

Water and terrain define the boundaries of human activity here, with Cane Creek and its tributary Little Cane Creek cutting through the center of the quadrangle. Significant landmarks such as Twin Hills and the Ashley Landing Strip provide navigational reference points across the rolling terrain. The presence of numerous Quarries and the extensive oil field infrastructure illustrates a landscape defined by intensive natural resource extraction and utility, including a prominent Water Tank and Radio Tower near the western edge.
