1964 Map of Comanche SE

About this map

The rolling plains of southern Oklahoma meet the industrial footprint of the mid-century energy boom in this survey from the early 1960s. Straddling the boundary between Stephens Co and Jefferson Co, the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Mud Creek and its tributaries, including West Mud Creek and East Mud Creek. The presence of a significant Oil Field in the northeast corner of the sheet reflects the region's reliance on petroleum extraction during this era, with numerous drilling sites and service roads crisscrossing the terrain. Settlement patterns are focused around rural communities such as Brown, Price, and Loco. For those researching family history in the area, Woolsey Cem provides a specific point of interest, while the drainage of Deer Creek and the South Fork Deer Creek offers a look at the local topography before modern land-use changes.
