1965 Map of Dougherty
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The Washita River carves a deep path through the Arbuckle Mountains, defining the industrial and recreational geography of this region. The landscape reflects a transition toward large-scale water management, dominated by the newly formed Lake of the Arbuckles and the Arbuckle Dam. To the south, the settlement of Dougherty serves as a local hub near the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR, while the Vines Oil Field and various quarries signify the importance of mineral extraction to the local economy. Religious and community life are anchored at the Falls Creek Assembly and family landmarks like the James Cem and Price Cem. Notable geological and topographical features such as Burning Mountain and the steep walls of Sycamore Hollow illustrate the complex terrain that challenged early railroad engineers, evidenced by the old Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Grade northwest of town.
