About this map

The waters of Lake Carl Blackwell dominate the northwestern landscape of this survey, where Harrington Creek and Hunt Creek feed into the reservoir's fingers. This region of Payne County reflects a mid-century balance between rural life and industrial extraction, most notably within the Southeast Paradise Oil Field and Ramsey Field. The map records several vital community landmarks that serve as essential touchstones for local history, including the settlement of Marena and its associated Marena Cem.

Genealogists and historians will find a dense distribution of rural burial grounds and places of worship, such as Salem Cem, Mt Vernon Cem, and Paradise Ch near the Paradise Cem. The topography is carved by drainage systems like Wild Horse Creek and Clear Creek, while the presence of scattered Oil Wells, Drill Hole sites, and Gravel Pits illustrates the era's reliance on the land's natural resources.
