1949 Map of Cement

About this map

Cement and Cyril anchor this post-war landscape at the intersection of energy production and rural agriculture. The infrastructure of the petroleum industry is prominent, notably the Oil Refinery and Water Tower in Cyril, while the surrounding hills are organized into named districts such as North Cement and Chandler Field. These industrial sites contrast with a dense network of one-room schoolhouses and community hubs that served the farming population across the Little Washita River valley.
