1962 Map of Henryetta

About this map

The industrial and rail identity of Okmulgee County is central to this early 1960s landscape, where the St Louis-San Francisco and Kansas Oklahoma and Gulf railroads intersect near Henryetta. The map documents a significant period of local transformation, specifically noting areas to be submerged by the Eufaula Reservoir along the Deep Fork and North Canadian River. Industrial footprints are visible at the Smelter in Spelter City, while the surrounding terrain is dotted with small settlements like Dewar, Coalton, and Kusa. Notable social and civic landmarks are well-represented, including Nichols Park, Nichols Lake, and numerous local institutions such as St Michael Sch, Jefferson Sch, and the Salem Ch. The presence of several family-named cemeteries, including Senora Cem and Salem Cem, provides valuable points of reference for genealogical research in this historic Oklahoma mining and refining district.
