About this map

Wewoka and its neighboring oil-rich landscapes are documented here in the early 1970s, showcasing a region defined by petroleum extraction and decentralized rural communities. Extensive oil fields and individual oil wells dot the terrain, particularly across Econtuchka and Lincoln townships, indicating the persistent industrial character of Seminole County. The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad bisects the map, passing through the town of Lima and serving the heavy industry of the area.

Local life is anchored by a network of small churches and meeting grounds, including King Chapel and Scipio Ch, alongside recreational and spiritual hubs like the St Crispins Conference Center on Danielson Lake. The presence of Sportsman Lake and Fry Lake highlights the importance of managed water resources in this part of Oklahoma. For researchers, the map provides precise locations for family landmarks like Westwood Cem and Ong Cem, as well as the clustered settlements of Nobletown and New Lima.
