2012 Map of White Oak

About this map

White Oak and the surrounding prairies of Craig County are defined by a grid of rural section roads and the persistent influence of the petroleum industry. The landscape is dotted with small-scale water management features like the Pryor Cr Site 29 Reservoir and the winding paths of Pryor Cr, White Oak Cr, and Little Pryor Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Shawnee Cem and White Oak Cem provides specific points of interest for family research in this part of Oklahoma. Economic activity is anchored by the Catale Oil Field near the settlement of Sunsweet, while the community of Catale sits along the southwestern rail corridor. The map captures a transition where traditional ranching or farming land intersects with modern energy extraction, evidenced by the dense network of numbered roads like E 290 RD and n4320 RD that facilitate access across the plains.
