About this map

The Little River and the expanding shoreline of Lake Thunderbird define the southern landscape of this Cleveland County region. During this period of transition in the late 1960s, the map reveals the rural infrastructure of the Stella area, where a network of section roads connects small community centers and family landmarks. The settlement of Stella itself is centrally located, supported by local gathering places like the Stella Cem and nearby Friendly Ch.

Water management and energy production are evident through the presence of an aqueduct and multiple oil wells, alongside several named drainage systems such as South Deer Creek and Pecan Creek. To the north, the Pilgrim Rest Ch and a significant pipeline corridor cross the terrain, while the Cleveland and Pottawatomie county line runs along the eastern edge, marking the boundary of local jurisdictions.
