Mineral rights just found out I had

Just found out in inherited some mineral rights in several Oklahoma counties. All I have is a bunch of what looks like coordinates. How can I look these up to find more out about what I have?

The easiest starting point is to go on okcountyrecords.com Then put in the name of your ancestors. There may be mineral deeds, oil and gas leases. Now, this won’t necessarily tell you how many acres you have, but it could provide a partial list of what you own. Also, check out mineral owner escrow account and unclaimed property to see if there is any money paid into these funds in the names of your ancestors.

Thank you so much. This got me started going down the rabbit hole. I loved it.

If there was a probate order or affidavit of heirship, that would be a good place to start.
