1971 Map of Duke SW

About this map

The county line between Harmon Co and Jackson Co bisects this agricultural and creek-carved landscape of southwestern Oklahoma. Flowing toward the southeast, Gypsum Creek and Cottonwood Creek dominate the northern terrain, while Sandy Creek crosses the southern edge, illustrating the drainage patterns of the eastern Looney and western Eldorado townships. For genealogists and local historians, the Pleasant Hill Cem stands as a focal point of early settlement near the center of the survey. The presence of Quarries and water management features, including a large reservoir area labeled Duke with its associated spillways, reflects the mid-century intersection of resource extraction and local infrastructure development in this rural corridor.
