About this map

The community of Boone serves as the central hub of this mid-century Caddo County survey, which documents a landscape transitioning through agricultural and tribal heritage. The winding path of East Cache Creek and its various tributaries, including Tahoe Creek and Mission Creek, dictates the placement of early settlements and roads. Cultural landmarks are prominent throughout the area, notably the Comanche Indian Cemetery and Cache Creek Cemetery located near the southern margin, providing significant touchpoints for genealogical research and local history.

Rural social life is evidenced by the presence of Boone Memorial Church, Bellview Church, and a designated Ball park near Hatchetville. The map also captures several smaller named locales such as Broxton and unique local identifiers like a Slush tank, while broader land divisions are marked by the labels Hale, Highland, and Bone. This survey, based on aerial photography from the late 1940s and mid-1950s, offers a precise record of the Oklahoma interior before modern highway expansion and suburban shifts altered these small agrarian centers.
