About this map

Piedmont serves as the focal point of this Oklahoma landscape, which straddles the junction of Canadian, Kingfisher, Logan, and Oklahoma Counties. The 1960s terrain, updated in the early 1980s, reveals a rural grid system defined by thoroughfares like Sara Road and Council Road. Historically significant markers such as Lockridge Cem and Kansas Cem provide critical touchpoints for genealogical research, while the presence of the High Sch in town centers local activity.

The landscape is heavily influenced by the petroleum and natural gas industries, evidenced by the broad expanses of the West Edmond Field and Deer Creek Field. Natural drainage flows through several watercourses, including Soldier Creek, Deer Creek, and Bloody Rush Creek. The map documents the shifting municipal boundaries through various corporate boundary lines, showing how the expanding reach of Piedmont and Oklahoma City began to reshape the traditional township structure of Mathewson.
