1965 Map of Adamsville

About this map

The Arkansas River carves a sharp, serpentine path through the eastern half of this mid-1960s survey, marking the natural boundary between Sumner and Cowley counties. In this era, the landscape is defined by the coexistence of agriculture and petroleum extraction, with numerous Oil Wells scattered across the upland flats between the creek drainages. The small settlements of Paton and Adamsville serve as local hubs, while community landmarks like Oak Grove Sch and Slate Valley Ch pinpoint the social centers for rural families.
