2012 Map of Quitman

About this map

Quitman serves as the focal point of this Wood County landscape, where small-scale agriculture and the petroleum industry have long shaped the local economy. The town's grid is surrounded by a complex network of creeks and small reservoirs, including Lake Quitman to the north and a cluster of smaller water bodies like New Wells Lake Number 1 and Wells Lake Number 2 to the south. Significant oil and gas operations are evident through the Quitman Oil Field, Coats Oil Field, and Merigale-Paul Oil Field, highlighting the region's reliance on natural resources. For those researching local family history, several burial grounds are scattered across the rural countryside, including Price Cem, Ingram Cem, and Shiloh Cem. The terrain is defined by its many drainage systems, such as Myrtle Springs Br and Dry Cr, which feed into larger basins like Lake Fork Cr.
