1979 Map of Geary South

About this map

The Canadian River meanders across this West-Central Oklahoma landscape, marking the tri-county intersection of Blaine, Canadian, and Caddo counties. The northern reaches are anchored by the town of Geary, where agricultural plateaus like Alfalfa Valley give way to the rugged drainage of Lumpmouth Creek. In the late 1970s, this area reflects a blend of traditional ranching and a growing energy sector, evidenced by numerous gas wells scattered across the hillsides. Transportation history is visible in the corridor of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, while an Old Railroad Grade north of the river suggests earlier iterations of the regional rail network. The southern portion of the map centers on the transition near Hinton Junction, where the terrain drops into Fisher Canyon and West Walnut, providing a detailed look at the local topography before modern highway expansion further altered these rural communities.
