About this map

The town of Purcell anchors the northeastern corner of this Oklahoma landscape, featuring the Purcell Municipal Airport - Steven E Shephard Field and the nearby Hillside Cem. The terrain is characterized by a sophisticated system of water management along the drainage of Finn Cr, where numerous numbered flood control structures like Finn Creek Site 8 Reservoir and Finn Creek Site 31 Reservoir dot the landscape. These reservoirs follow the natural contours of the creek and its tributaries, such as Turkey Cr and Second Cr, illustrating the mid-century agricultural and environmental engineering of the region.

Local infrastructure is defined by a grid of section-line roads, including Stealy Rd and 180th St, which connect the small settlement of Stealy to the surrounding ranching and farming lands. Near the northern border, the Sunburst Ranch and Purcell Lake provide distinct geographic landmarks, while the southern edge of the sheet reaches toward Maysville. This map captures a moment in the modern evolution of McClain County, balancing municipal development with extensive rural water conservation projects.
