About this map

The community of Sweetwater lies at the heart of this landscape along the border of Oklahoma and Texas, where the local economy is defined by a network of energy infrastructure and rural settlements. Energy extraction is a prominent feature of the terrain, with the Sweetwater NW Gas Field, Sweetwater West Gas Field, and the central Sweetwater Gas Field marking the subterranean resources of the region.

Surface features are dominated by the winding path of Sweetwater Creek and the Davis Reservoir to the northwest. For those researching local family histories, the presence of the Mulberry Cem and Salem Cem provides important geographic anchors for the surrounding rural area, including the settlement at Meridian. The map illustrates a grid of section lines and roads that connect these scattered sites, reflecting the late 20th-century development of this agricultural and industrial plains environment.
