2012 Map of Paden

About this map

The town of Paden serves as the central hub of this Okfuskee County landscape, where the grid of local section roads meets a complex network of tributaries and managed water resources. North of the town center, the Southeast Laffoon Oil Field indicates the region's historical and ongoing connection to the petroleum industry. The landscape is defined by a series of engineered water bodies, including Okfuskee Tributaries Site H-3 Reservoir and Okfuskee Tributaries Site H-7 Reservoir, which sit alongside natural drainages like Hilliby Cr and Pettiquah Cr. These reservoirs suggest a history of local water management and flood control in the rural areas surrounding smaller settlements like Midway and Micawber. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Oakdale Cem north of town and trace the paths of historic routes such as W John Deere Rd.
