About this map

Ratliff City and the surrounding energy-producing landscape of southern Oklahoma dominate this mid-1970s survey. The map details an area defined by its petroleum infrastructure, featuring the expansive Graham Oil Field, Loco Oil Field, and Parks Oil Field. Numerous extraction sites and utility markings, including Refinery and Substation labels, illustrate the industrial character of the region.

Interspersed among the oil fields are small residential settlements and agricultural spaces. Local history and genealogy are preserved through the locations of the Alma Cem, Claude Cem, and the Freewill Ch. The terrain is drained by several waterways, most notably Wildhorse Creek and Caddo Creek, which cut through the landscape alongside the straight borders of the Stephens and Carter County line.
