1972 Map of Ceres

About this map

Red Rock Creek meanders through the central landscape of this Oklahoma survey, defining the agrarian and industrial character of Noble County during the early 1970s. The settlement of Ceres sits north of the creek, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by the Cimarron Turnpike and its connection at the Enid Interchange. The region shows significant fossil fuel activity, marked by numerous oil wells and several shale pits scattered across the terrain. Cultural landmarks such as Bohemian Hall and the nearby Bohemian Cem reflect the local heritage of the area, while the Perry Municipal Airport occupies the southeast corner, providing a glimpse into the infrastructure of the era. The mapping of Mt Carmel Cem and various rural school sections offers valuable detail for genealogists tracing family histories in this part of the southern plains.
