1969 Map of Elmore City South

About this map

The Elmore Field dominates the landscape south of Elmore City, revealing a mid-century petroleum economy defined by numerous Oil Wells and a local Refinery. This late 1960s snapshot of Garvin County captures the transition from open range to industrial resource extraction, centered on the community of Foster and the smaller settlement at Satterwhite. Moving south, the terrain descends toward the Wildhorse Creek valley, where the boundary between Garvin Co and Carter Co is marked by meandering drainage patterns.
