About this map

The Oklahoma oil industry shapes this 2012 survey, with the East Pauls Valley Oil Field, Northeast Nahola Oil Field, and the Lewis Oil Field scattered across the northern landscape. These extractive sites coexist with a complex network of flood control and agricultural reservoirs, notably the Cherokee Sandy Site 14 Reservoir and multiple basins along Chigley Sandy Creek. The terrain is defined by a dense drainage system including Willow Sandy Cr and Kickapoo Sandy Cr, providing water to this rural expanse.

Local history is anchored by the Sandy Hill Cem in the northeast and Lewis Cem centrally located near the oil operations. A rigid grid of section roads, such as Sunshine Rd and various numbered county routes, organizes the territory into a patchwork of rural land use. This map documents a transitional period where traditional agriculture and systematic water management meet the continued footprint of petroleum extraction in Garvin County.
