2012 Map of Peckham

About this map

Dilworth and its surrounding oil and gas infrastructure characterize this northern Oklahoma landscape just south of the Kansas border. The Dilworth Oil and Gas Field and Murphy Oil Field point to the area's industrial legacy, while a strict grid of section-line roads like W Indian Rd and W Peckham Rd organizes the rural landscape. Near the settlement of Peckham, the topography is defined by small watercourses including Lost Cr and Duck Cr, with Wentz Lake providing a rare catchment in the southern portion of the quadrangle. For genealogists and local historians, Plainview Cem stands as a primary landmark in the northwest near E Bitter Cr. The proximity of small communities like Bender to these varied creek systems suggests a history of agricultural settlement deeply tied to the local hydrology of the southern plains.
