About this map

Rosedale serves as the central hub of this Oklahoma landscape, situated just south of a sweeping bend in the Canadian River. The area’s industrial character is defined by widespread energy extraction, notably within the Rosedale Oil Field and the North Red Springs Oil Field to the north. These oil fields are integrated into a rural grid defined by roads with descriptive local names like Flat Armadillo Rd and Edge of the Earth Rd.

Water management is a prominent theme throughout the territory, evidenced by numerous impoundments such as Tom London Dam and a series of flood control structures along Owl Creek, including Owl Creek Site 11 Dam and Owl Creek Site 14 Dam. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Box Cemetery, Mount Zion Cemetery, and Rosedale Cemetery, which are scattered among the drainages of Tomike Creek and Washington Creek.
