1972 Map of Canton

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Canton Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Oklahoma survey, created by a dam across the North Canadian River. The town of Canton serves as the local hub, situated just south of the lake near the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. This 1970s record illustrates the intersection of mid-century recreation and natural resource extraction, with the Canton Oil and Gas Field spreading across the southern portion of the quadrangle. Genealogists will find notable burial sites such as Canton Cem and Cherryvale Cem, alongside spiritual centers like the Indian Ch and the Assembly of God Ch. The transition from the State Game Management Area to the industrial landscapes of various Gas Wells and Oil Wells highlights the diverse land use in Blaine County during this era.
