2012 Map of Pontiac

About this map

Pontiac serves as the central hub of this Butler County landscape, situated amidst an extensive network of rural section roads and creek drainages. The area is defined by its transition from the shores of El Dorado Lake in the northwest to the active petroleum extraction sites of the Long Oil Field and Young Oil Field further south. Genealogists will find historical value in the presence of the Pontiac Cem and the Economy Cem, which are tucked away near Bird Cr and Turkey Cr. The terrain is deeply etched by numerous waterways, including Bemis Cr, Harrison Cr, and the N Br Little Walnut River, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have shaped local agriculture and settlement. The inclusion of Foster Field Airport in the northeast highlights the integration of modern transportation within this traditional prairie setting.
