About this map

The small settlement of Phroso anchors this late-1960s landscape, situated in a region defined by agricultural land and increasing energy extraction. Mapping indicates an active industrial footprint across the terrain, notably at the Jones Oil Field and the numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells peppered throughout the sections. Local genealogy is well-preserved through the marking of several burial grounds, including Mt Zion Cem, Antioch Cem, and Golden Lodge Cem.

A complex drainage system of creeks, such as Griever Creek and its tributaries Middle Griever Creek and East Griever Creek, shapes the topographic character of the area. These watercourses are flanked by extensive areas of vegetation, providing a contrast to the cleared fields and utility corridors marked by a significant Pipeline network. The inclusion of the Bishop district highlights specific land divisions during this era of Oklahoma's rural development.
