1956 Map of Cement

About this map

The Anadarko Gas Field and a significant oil refinery south of Cement define the industrial character of this mid-century Oklahoma landscape. Situated at the crossroads of Caddo, Grady, and Comanche counties, the region is marked by a series of prominent rises including the North Cement Hills, South Cement Hills, and Tonkawa Hills. The St Louis San Francisco railroad provides the primary transportation artery, connecting the settlements of Cyril, Fletcher, and Sterling. Cultural and genealogical history is deeply embedded in the land, evidenced by the Washita Indian Cemetery, Cyril Indian Mission, and the Little Washita Indian Church. Significant water features like the Washita River and the Lake Louis Burtschi State Game Reservation punctuate the terrain between the upland ridges and the winding creek valleys.
