About this map

Boley stands as the primary settlement in this late-1960s survey of the Oklahoma landscape, positioned near the Old Railroad Grade and the Boley School for Boys. The map documents a rural transition where the North Canadian River winds through the central terrain, dividing the county lines of Seminole and Okfuskee. The region is marked by its community institutions, from the Schoolton area to numerous country churches including St Emmanuel Ch, Arbeka Ch, and Pigeon Roost Ch.

Industry and infrastructure are grounded in the land, with extensive oil wells, pipelines, and gravel pits dotting the hillsides. Family and local history are preserved through sites like Klutts Lake, Rusk Cem, and the Flying C and M Ranch Landing Strip. The presence of several schools, such as Sand Creek Sch and Prairie Dell Sch, alongside small cemeteries like West Cem and East Cem, illustrates the dispersed settlement pattern characteristic of this era.
