1956 Map of Boone

About this map

Boone and the surrounding Caddo County landscape are defined by a complex network of tributaries feeding into East Cache Creek during the mid-1950s. The map illustrates a rural Oklahoma community centered on faith and local gathering places, anchored by the Boone Memorial Church and the Bellview Church. Cultural heritage is deeply embedded in the land, as evidenced by the Comanche Indian Cemetery and Cache Creek Cemetery located in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Small clusters of development at Broxton and Hatchetville suggest a dispersed settlement pattern typical of the era, where rural schools and churches served as primary anchors. The terrain is intricately dissected by seasonal waterways like Tahoe Creek and Mission Creek, showing the drainage patterns that shaped local agriculture and road placement before modern highway expansion.
