About this map

The Jefferson County landscape near Ringling is defined by a network of drainage systems and petroleum activity as it appeared in the early 1970s. Tributaries like Negro Creek and Willow Br feed into the prominent channel of Mud Creek, which meanders across the southern half of the quadrangle. In the lower corner, Post Oak Creek flows near the southwestern boundary, marking a terrain of low relief and intermittent waterways.

Energy extraction and aviation infrastructure highlight the local economy during this era. Multiple Oil Wells are scattered across the plains, particularly in the northeast and central portions of the sheet. The Ringling Municipal Airport and a nearby Radio Tower serve as the primary modern landmarks, indicating the region's connection to broader transport and communication networks in southern Oklahoma.
