About this map

The small town of Gerty serves as the focal point for this landscape in Hughes County, Oklahoma. The map documents the mid-century intersection of rural life and resource extraction, notably featuring the NE Citra Oil and Gas Field to the southwest of the main settlement. Family and community heritage is preserved through markers like Gerty Cem, Panther Creek Cem, and Salt Creek Ch, which anchor the local geography.

A complex hydrological network defines the terrain, with Big Sandy Creek, Little Sandy Creek, and Panther Creek draining towards the south into Muddy Boggy Creek. Numerous Gravel Pits scattered near the watercourses suggest an active local industry at the time of the 1967 field check. The political landscape is marked by the boundary between Hughes Co Coal Co, indicating the county line transition just north of the southern creek beds.
