About this map

The Cherokita Trend Oil and Gas Field and Cherry Vale Oil and Gas Field define the economic landscape of this Grant County region, reflecting the long-standing importance of petroleum extraction in northern Oklahoma. This survey shows a strictly organized section-line road network, including Trenton Rd, which overlays a drainage system of meandering prairie streams.

Water sources such as Crooked Creek, Duel Creek, Lynch Creek, and Spring Creek break the geometric grid of the agricultural lands. Local landmarks like Red Hill and the Three Lakes area provide topographic variation, while the Wakita Cemetery serves as a primary point of interest for genealogists. The curiously named Weedpatch International Airport provides a distinct aviation landmark in this rural landscape.
