1971 Map of Duke

About this map

The agricultural and industrial landscape of southwest Oklahoma is documented here, centered on the community of Duke (East Duke) near the Greer and Jackson County line. The infrastructure of the early 1970s is well-defined, featuring the Hollis and Eastern railroad corridor and a local Landing Field. Specialized land use is visible through several quarries and water management features like Waste Ponds and a Sewage Disposal Pond. Local genealogy is anchored by established burial grounds, including Duke Cem, Cottonwood Cem, and Rock Cem. The terrain is drained by several watercourses such as Turkey Creek and Cottonwood Creek, which meander through the prairie landscape, while a long Pipeline segment cuts across the northern sections of the township, reflecting the regional energy economy.
