1973 Map of Beggs

About this map

The town of Beggs serves as the primary hub of this Okmulgee County landscape during the early 1970s. The region is defined by a dense network of energy extraction and natural resources, with numerous Oil Wells and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the terrain. Transport is anchored by the St Louis - San Francisco railroad line, which runs through the northern settlements near Adams. To the south, the landscape shifts toward conservation and water management, dominated by the Okmulgee State Game Management Area and the winding course of the Deep Fork. Local history is preserved through scattered burial grounds including Old Post Oak Cem and Stake Cem, while recreation and infrastructure are noted at New Beggs Lake and a Gaging Station on the river. This survey captures a transition point between mid-century industrial oil activity and modern state-managed wilderness conservation.
