2009 Map of Blackburn

About this map

The Arkansas River winds through this landscape, defining the northern and eastern reaches of the area near Blackburn. This era shows a community structured around both the river's path and modern infrastructure, including the Cleveland Reservoir and the Cleveland Lake Dam. Local history is anchored by the Blackburn Cemetery and Boston Pool Cemetery, while the presence of Will Rogers Camp and Ghost Hollow adds a unique layer of place-naming to the terrain. The map records the transportation and industrial footprint of the early twenty-first century, featuring Greenup Siding along the rail lines and a grid of rural roads like Balmer Rd and Old 64 Hwy. From the elevations of Reservoir Hill to the bends of Hellroaring Creek, the topography reflects a region where water management and agriculture meet traditional Oklahoma settlements.
