1967 Map of Gerty

About this map

The town of Gerty serves as the focal point of this landscape in southern Oklahoma, surrounded by a complex network of rural cemeteries and drainage systems. This 1967 survey captures the area as the NE Citra Oil and Gas Field shaped local land use, interspersed with active Gravel Pits and traditional homestead patterns. The geography is defined by its watercourses, notably Big Sandy Creek and Little Sandy Creek in the north, and the southern flow of Muddy Boggy Creek. Small community hubs are evidenced by the presence of Salt Creek Ch and the Panther Creek Cem, which, along with the Gerty Cem, provide essential data points for family historians. The map also delineates the boundary between Hughes Co and Coal Co, showing the intersection of civic administration and the natural terrain.
