About this map

Velma and Santa Fe anchor this region of Stephens County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Wildhorse Cr and its tributaries. The area's history is deeply etched into the land through a series of family and community burial grounds, including the Old Velma Cem, Passmore Cem, and the Old Jackson Cem located near the northern township boundaries.

A network of section-line roads, such as Cherokee Rd and Seminole Rd, crisscross the terrain, reflecting the structured rural settlement patterns of Oklahoma. Notable industrial presence is signaled by specialized routes like Pvt Oil Co Rd and Texaco Rd, which hint at the importance of the energy sector to the local economy. Waterways like Pine Cr and Negro Cr drain the undulating hills, providing a natural counterpoint to the rigid grid of the road system.
