About this map

The petroleum landscape of Jones and Jasper Counties is clearly defined on this 2012 survey, showing a network of sub-surface resources like the Soso Oil and Gas Field and the Gitano Oil and Gas Field. Small pools, including the Christmas Gas Pool and Rodessa Oil Pool, are interspersed among established timber and agricultural lands. The community of Soso anchors the southern portion of the map, while Stringer sits to the northeast, connected by rural routes such as Co Hwy 17.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds and local landmarks, including Knights Mill Cem, Welch Cem, and Coats Cem. The drainage patterns are dominated by the Etehomo Cr and Mill Cr, which cut through a landscape that includes commercial operations like Phipps Poultry Farms. This map documents a region where traditional rural life and modern energy extraction coexist along the county lines.
