2022 Map of Gene Autry

About this map

Gene Autry and the surrounding southern Oklahoma landscape are defined by the winding course of the Washita River and the southern slopes of the Arbuckle Mountains. This 2022 survey captures the area’s distinct layers of history, including the namesake town named for the singing cowboy, which was formerly known as Berwyn — a transition evidenced by the nearby Old Berwyn Cem and Berwyn Cem. To the east, the Ardmore Municipal Airport occupies a significant footprint, reflecting the region's mid-century aviation and infrastructure development. The rugged topography is punctuated by several smaller watercourses like Big Branch and Target Cr, while local history is deeply rooted in numerous burial grounds, including the Abramville Cem and Big Canyon Cem. The northern portion of the map highlights the industry at Crusher near the Carter and Murray County line, where the terrain rises toward White Mound.
