About this map

Keystone Lake and the Cimarron River dominate the northern landscape of this Creek County survey, where the expanding waters meet the rolling terrain of central Oklahoma. The map documents a rural economy defined by resource extraction and long-standing community landmarks. A significant Oil Field stretches across the center of the sheet, marked by a dense network of pipelines and numerous oil wells that reflect the region's industrial backbone.

Settlement patterns are anchored by Olive, where a sewage disposal pond and local infrastructure are visible, and the western outpost of Silver City. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies several spiritual and social centers including Friendship Ch, Liberty Ch, and the Church of God. The northern shoreline of the lake also features New Friendship Cem, providing a precise record of local burials and congregation sites during the early 1970s.
