About this map

The North Canadian River carves a winding path across this landscape, its banks reinforced by an extensive levee system that protects the surrounding bottomlands. The town of Jones serves as a central hub, where the St Louis San Francisco railroad line intersects with local section roads. This mid-century survey captures a transitional period in Oklahoma's development, showing the emergence of the Turner Toll Road Turnpike in the north and the industrial footprint of an oil field near Spencer in the southwest corner.

Local history is preserved through numerous family and community landmarks, including Rose Hill Sch and the Dunjee High Sch campus. Significant genealogical detail is present in the various burial grounds such as Odd Fellows Cem and Mt Moriah Cem, alongside rural congregations like Salem Ch and Pleasant Valley Ch. The terrain transitions from the developed residential areas of Green Pastures to the more open reaches of Hartzell and Springer.
