1969 Map of Jet SE

About this map

Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and St Louis San Francisco railroad lines cross this section of the Oklahoma plains, marking the vital transportation corridors that shaped north-central Oklahoma. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the landscape is defined by its topographic townships including Prairie, McKinley, Karoma, Hobart, and Saline. The map reveals a rural economy transitioning from traditional agriculture to energy extraction, evidenced by an isolated Oil Well and a Radio Tower located near the Garfield and Alfalfa county lines. Drainage is primarily managed by Coldwater Creek, which meanders through the northeast corner, while a dense network of section-line roads provides a rigid grid for the occasional farmstead and agricultural operation.
