About this map

Oil field operations and agricultural patterns dominate this landscape in Creek County, Oklahoma, documented just as the region’s water infrastructure was maturing. The northern boundary is defined by the expanse of Keystone Lake and the Cimarron River, where the terrain transitions from river bottoms into the dissected uplands of Mannford and Hazelip. The community of Olive serves as a central hub, featuring a Sewage Disposal Pond and local infrastructure like the Radio Tower.

Evidence of rural life and industry is scattered throughout, from the Church of God and Friendship Ch to extraction sites like a Quarry and Gravel Pit. The map reveals a network of energy transport with numerous pipelines crisscrossing the terrain. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of the New Friendship Cem and other local burial grounds, alongside small settlements like Silver City that help pin down family locations in the 1970s.
