1984 Map of Cambridge

About this map

Cambridge sits at a crossroads of rail and water in this mid-1980s look at the Oklahoma plains. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a vertical path through the terrain, passing through the Dill district and providing a industrial backbone to the agricultural landscape. The serpentine course of Elk Creek winds through the eastern half of the map, carving through the South Elk and Hobart areas. This survey reflects the region's enduring rural structure, where family and community landmarks like Pleasant Ridge Cem remain central to the geography. The map also documents modern infrastructure, including a prominent substation and various benchmark locations that define the elevation and survey grid across the Washita and Kiowa county line.
