About this map

Piedmont sits at the intersection of several Oklahoma county boundaries, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural and industrial prairie. The landscape is defined by the West Edmond Oil and Gas Field, which occupies much of the eastern portion of the sheet, and a series of north-flowing watercourses including Deer Creek and Soldier Creek. While the town center features the local High Sch, the surrounding countryside preserves older community markers such as Lockridge Cem and Kansas Cem.

Infrastructure like the northern Pipeline and several extraction sites, including a Gravel Pit, reflect the mid-century development of the region. The map also traces the expansion of Oklahoma City Corporate Boundary into this territory, signaling the early stages of suburban growth. Major local thoroughfares such as Sara Road and Council Road provide the framework for the grid of section lines that organize the homesteads and fields.
