About this map

The Indian Territory Line and Old Oklahoma Boundary Line bisect this 1964 survey of southern Stephens County, marking a historic transition in the landscape north of Comanche. The industrial character of the era is evident in the extensive oil wells and the Halliburton Field, which sprawl across the terrain alongside the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad corridor. The city of Duncan serves as the primary hub, with its urban footprint extending past Duncan Park and the Fairground.

Rural life is anchored by local landmarks such as Liberty Sch and the Henderson-Harris Cem. The landscape is drained by the winding courses of Cow Creek and Willow Creek, while Petticoat Hill rises to the northeast. Researchers will find a mix of mid-century infrastructure, including a Drive-in Theater and Radio Tower, set against a backdrop of historic boundaries and developing petroleum interests.
