About this map

The oil-rich landscape of Seminole County is defined by extensive drilling operations and established rural communities in the late 1960s. The northern reaches of Seminole anchor the sheet, where the Seminole Municipal Airport and Goodhope Sch sit near the city's corporate boundaries. This area was a productive hub for the energy industry, evidenced by the dense concentration of the North Searight Oil Field, Keokuk Oil Field, and North Earlbsboro Oil Field.

Rural life is marked by a network of small schools and local landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and Radio Tower. Local family names and community ties are preserved through sites such as Payne Cem, Bruer Cem, and Little Cem, while the township of Little serves as a northern waypoint. Waterways like Turkey Creek and Magnolia Creek cross a terrain heavily shaped by the infrastructure of petroleum extraction and local education at Prairie Valley Sch and Varnum Sch.
