About this map

Booker stands as the central hub on this high plains survey, positioned at the intersection of agricultural industry and transportation. The town's grid is bisected by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which runs east-to-west through the heart of the settlement. The map reveals a community supported by local infrastructure, including the Booker Independent Sch, a Golf Course, and a Landing Strip situated just south of the main town site.

Beyond the town limits, the landscape transitions into a network of resource extraction and water management. Numerous Oil Well sites are scattered across the terrain, linked by an extensive system of Pipelines. Natural drainage is provided by Duck Creek in the north and Kiowa Creek to the south. Local history is anchored by the Heart Cem and Kiowa Cem, providing significant points of interest for genealogical research in this tri-county border region where Texas meets Oklahoma.
