About this map

Gilbert sits at the heart of this North Central Oklahoma landscape, where the grid of county roads meets the natural drainage of Lynch Cr and Spring Cr. The area reflects a balance between traditional agricultural land use and energy extraction, most notably within the expansive Cherokita Trend Oil and Gas Field and the Cherry Vale Oil and Gas Field. These industrial footprints are overlaid across a terrain defined by subtle elevation changes, including the local landmark of Red Hill.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Wakita Cem in the northern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary point of interest for those tracing family roots in Grant County. Water features like Three Lakes and Duel Cr break the geometric precision of the section lines, illustrating how the regional hydrology influences the placement of farmsteads and transport routes in this rural corridor.
