About this map

Eakly serves as the central hub of this West-Central Oklahoma landscape, where the agriculture-driven economy is evident in the network of section roads and small-scale infrastructure. The township and its surroundings are marked by local landmarks like Fairview Ch and the Poage Cem near the northern boundary. Transportation and utility needs are highlighted by the presence of two private airfields, the Lasley Landing Strip and Wheeler Landing Strip, reflecting the rural necessity for aerial access in the mid-1980s.

The southern reaches of the map are defined by the upper waters of the Fort Cobb Reservoir and the extensive Fort Cobb State Wildlife Management Area. These features illustrate the intersection of conservation and water management along Cobb Creek, which flows southeast toward the reservoir. Notable industrial and civic footprints include a Quarry in the southwest and Sewage Disposal Ponds near Eakly, providing a detailed record of local land use during this period.
