1973 Map of Gypsy

About this map

The Oil Field landscape of the Creek and Okfuskee county line is defined by a dense network of extraction infrastructure and riparian woodlands in this early 1970s survey. Centered on the small settlement of Gypsy, the area is punctuated by traditional community landmarks including Gypsy Ch and the Bucktrot Cem. The terrain is deeply carved by the meandering Deep Fork river and its tributaries like Salt Creek and Bachelor Creek, creating a complex topography of ridges and bottoms. To the east, the Newby area features additional religious sites such as the Greater Mt Hermon Ch and the Church of God, alongside industrial elements like various Quarries and a prominent Lookout Tower. This map documents a rural Oklahoma interior where the petroleum industry and subsistence landmarks like small country churches remained the primary drivers of the local geography.
