1966 Map of Asher

About this map

The Canadian River forms a major sweeping bend across this mid-1960s landscape, serving as a natural boundary between Pottawatomie, McClain, and Pontotoc Counties. The town of Asher sits at the northern edge of this curve, while the smaller settlement of Julian is located to the west. This period is marked by active resource extraction and infrastructure, evidenced by numerous Oil Well locations, a Pumping Station, and a Gravel Pit. Local history is preserved in sites like Cook Cem and religious landmarks such as the Church of Christ and Hiway Tabernacle. The terrain is deeply dissected by drainage systems like Salt Creek, Chism Creek, and Big Creek, which feed into the primary river valley. Rural life is further represented by Days Airport in the south, reflecting the post-war development of small private aviation facilities in central Oklahoma.
