1972 Map of Hulbert NE

About this map

Fourteenmile Creek and Double Spring Creek carve through the wooded landscape of Cherokee County in this early 1970s orthophotoquad. Unlike traditional line-drawn maps, this aerial imagery provides a direct view of the dense vegetation and agricultural clearings that define the region. High points like Kolpin Mountain and Sugar Mountain rise distinctly above the creek bottoms, revealing the relationship between the area's relief and its land use. The imagery shows a network of section-line roads and farmsteads, reflecting a rural Oklahoma economy focused on timber and livestock grazing. This survey captures the exact state of the forest cover and field boundaries as they existed during the winter of 1972.
