1967 Map of Dustin

About this map

Dustin sits at the junction of two major rail lines in this late-1960s survey of the Okfuskee and Hughes County border region. The landscape is defined by the energy industry, with the Weleetka Oil and Gas Field and the Gregory Oil and Gas Field dominating the northern and central terrain. The North Canadian River carves a winding path through the center, paralleled by the St Louis - San Francisco railroad. Cultural landmarks like Graham School and Thewatie Church provide essential reference points for genealogists tracing local families. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and the Kansas Oklahoma and Gulf tracks near the Sewage Disposal Ponds reflects the area's transition from a rail-heavy transit hub to a center for gas extraction and local utility infrastructure.
