1962 Map of Henryetta SW

About this map

The North Canadian River carves a winding path through this central Oklahoma landscape, defining the rural character of the area in the early 1960s. The map reveals a high concentration of community centers and traditional Creek Nation landmarks, particularly evident in the cluster of institutional buildings around the Yardeka settlement. Here, the Yardeka Ch and Yardeka Sch served as local anchors, while the Hickory Ground No 1 Ch and Hickory Ground No 2 Ch point to established gathering places along the river's northern banks. This topography is shaped by complex drainage systems like Boar Creek and Rattlesnake Hollow, creating a terrain where agriculture and community life followed the contours of the waterways.
