1972 Map of Hucmac

About this map

Little Robe terrain defines this portion of the Oklahoma plains in the early 1970s, where the landscape is split by the diagonal course of Little Robe Creek. This survey captures a sparsely populated region of western Oklahoma, centered on the small settlement of Hucmac. The presence of an Oil Field and scattered Oil Wells across the northern sections points to the region's mid-century petroleum development. Local community life is anchored by the Church of Christ and the nearby Munice Cem. To the southwest, the quadrangle reaches the broad banks of the Canadian R, a major geographical marker for the border area between Dewey and Ellis counties. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of natural watercourses and the straight-line section roads that organized the rural prairie.
