1964 Map of Comanche

About this map

Comanche stands as the primary hub of this southern Oklahoma landscape during the mid-1960s, its street grid organized alongside the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad. This survey provides a critical look at the region's historical boundaries, specifically marking the Old Oklahoma Territory Indian Territory Boundary Line which bisects the western portion of the map. The rural character of the area is defined by its water resources and industrial extraction, featuring Comanche Lake in the northeast and numerous oil wells and drill holes scattered across the terrain. Drainage is dominated by Cow Creek and Cottonwood Creek, which meander through a mix of wooded draws and open fields. Local social infrastructure is represented by the High Sch in town and the Countryside Ch to the east, while the local economy is further reflected in the presence of a Gravel Pit and wastewater management via the Sewage Disposal Ponds.
