1942 Map of Geary

About this map

The town of Geary serves as a central hub on this 1939 survey, situated at the junction of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad lines. The landscape is defined by the dual courses of the North Canadian River and the Canadian River, which carve through the Canadian Valley and Mount Valley. This era is marked by a high density of rural schoolhouses, including High Prairie Sch, Richland Sch, and Edenview Sch, which served the farming communities across the Blaine, Canadian, and Caddo county borders. The presence of a CCC Camp near Geary and the Geary Pump Sta reflect the infrastructure and labor programs of the late Depression era. Further south, the settlement of Bridgeport sits near the banks of the Canadian River, connected to the wider region by the legendary Route 66.
