When a deed near Shamrock says lot and block, you'll need the Bristow plat map to make sense of it. This Bristow guide covers: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Getting started with the Bristow plat map
For a lot in Bristow, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; that makes the request quick.
The viewer Creek County publishes
Your first stop is the Creek County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes each assessed parcel around Drumright and Depew. Closer to Lawrence Creek, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. In and around Slick, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every office in the county will want it.
Amended plats
An amended plat may change lots around Depew, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Metes and bounds instead
Acreage around Depew outside a subdivision may have no plat at all; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Slick are kept by the County Clerk. Long-held tracts around Depew can go back through several deeds, and a title company is worth hiring before a purchase.
A word on accuracy
Listed acreage is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real lines for a parcel near Shamrock. If the land is near Shamrock, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Land on the county line
Creek County borders Lincoln County, Okfuskee County, Okmulgee County, Pawnee County, and Payne County, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near Shamrock can be split in two county records, so look at the adjacent map as well. In and around Shamrock, our state page links each bordering county map across Oklahoma.
City limits and county records
Bristow is part of Creek County, Oklahoma, so its parcels are on the county's map. For acreage around Shamrock, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the city limits toward Kellyville generally falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Two different maps
The tax map on the Creek County ArcGIS parcel map is a summary, whereas the plat carries surveyed dimensions.
Lots, blocks and easements
On ground around Shamrock, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.
Getting a copy
For a home near Drumright, many recorder offices offer an online index, otherwise call or visit with the reference; copy fees are usually small.
Getting answers from the right desk
Anything recorded against property around Depew come from the County Clerk, often with an online index. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Slick need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Sections, lots and bearings
Oklahoma follows the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Slick cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though corrections make some sections near Depew odd-sized. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Slick when you talk to a surveyor.
Getting your bearings
Sapulpa holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. Smaller places on the map include Depew, Slick, Shamrock, and Kellyville. Around 73,332 people live in Creek County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across about 950 square miles. Creek County was organized in 1907, and some chains of title near Depew are long. Places such as Heyburn Lake and Keystone Lake are easy to spot when you zoom out from Lawrence Creek.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Depew, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Kellyville with its ID is a good backup.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
