About this map

Scipio and Ulan serve as the primary focal points of this Pittsburg County survey, situated within a landscape where the Tannehill Prairie meets the drainage of Scipio Creek and Little Wildhorse. The map records a rural infrastructure defined by small community hubs, including the Lone Grove Ch and several family or local burial grounds such as Lone Grove Cem, Hashlow Cem, and Ulan Cem.

Modernization is evident in the path of the Indian Nation Toll Road, which cuts a straight line across the eastern portion of the quadrangle, contrasting with the winding secondary roads that connect various resource extraction sites. The presence of a Gas Well and a Drill Hole reflects the ongoing energy exploration in this part of Oklahoma during the early 1970s, providing a precise record of industrial activity amidst the region's agricultural and prairie lands.
