1984 Map of Eldorado

About this map

Eldorado serves as the focal point for this Southwest Oklahoma survey, situated just north of the Oklahoma-Texas border. The town is defined by its position on the Burlington Northern railroad line, which cuts diagonally across the landscape toward the Red River at the southwestern corner. The surrounding terrain is primarily agricultural, punctuated by local landmarks like the Antioch Cem and Durham Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Jackson County. Water management is a visible priority, evidenced by the Sewage Disposal Ponds and a Gaging Sta monitoring the river. The presence of a Gravel Pit and multiple wells suggests a local economy tied to natural resource extraction during the early 1980s. Sandy Creek meanders through the central and northern sections, providing natural drainage for the plains surrounding the town.
