About this map

Bebee-Southwest Konawa Oil and Gas Field and several neighboring production areas define this corner of Pontotoc County, where energy infrastructure interlaces with a landscape of rural school districts and family cemeteries. The map centers on a cluster of small settlements including Oil Center, Bebee, and Union Hill, connected by a grid of county roads that navigate the headwaters of Canadian Sandy Creek and Spring Brook Creek. Numerous water management projects, such as Sandy Cr Site 22 Reservoir, are scattered throughout the territory, supporting the local agricultural and industrial needs.

Local history is preserved in sites like the Box X Cemetery, Center Cemetery, and Moss Cemetery. From the southern edge at Vanoss to the eastern crossroads at Pickett, the geography illustrates the persistent footprint of Oklahoma's oil history. The drainage patterns of Buckhorn Creek and Burris Creek provide a natural framework for the section-line roads and scattered dwellings that characterize this region north of Ada.
