About this map

Duncan serves as the industrial and civic anchor of this region, with the expansive Duncan Cemetery and several schools including Irving Sch and Douglas Sch marking the town's social core. To the south, the settlement of Sunray and the industrial activity of the Oil Field demonstrate the energy-driven economy that shaped Stephens County in the mid-20th century. The landscape is bisected by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, which parallels the path of Willow Creek and Claridy Creek.

A notable historical marker on this map is the Old Oklahoma Territory Boundary Line, which cuts across the western portion of the sheet near Liberty. This boundary, alongside local landmarks like Halliburton Field and the Drive-in Theater, provides a detailed record of the community's infrastructure before significant modern expansion. Rural life is further documented through small family burial grounds like the Henderson-Harris Cem and the presence of the Bible Camp near the Oklahoma Hills.
