About this map

The Allen Oil Field dominates the northern landscape of this map, reflecting the petroleum production central to this region of Oklahoma during the late 1950s. Multiple Oil Wells are scattered throughout the territory, particularly around the settlement of Allen, where the Missouri Pacific railroad cuts through the terrain. The map follows the meandering path of Muddy Boggy Creek and its tributaries like Sandy Creek and Leader Creek, highlighting the importance of these waterways in a landscape defined by its rural industry.

Genealogists will find significant local history in the distribution of community landmarks. Small settlements such as Steedman, Citra, and Jaydee are documented alongside numerous spiritual and memorial sites, including Calvary Ch, Red Oak Ch, and Red Springs Cem. The presence of the Old Indian Boundary traversing the center of the sheet adds a layer of historical surveying detail to the rural road network and oil-rich grounds.
