1972 Map of Keefeton NE

About this map

Muskogee sits at the northern edge of this orthophotomosaic, marking the transition from urban industrial development to the varied terrain of east-central Oklahoma. The imagery captures a critical geographic junction where the Arkansas River flows toward the extensive Webbers Falls Reservoir, a landscape reshaped by mid-century water management. To the south, the aviation infrastructure of Davis Field provides a clear landmark among the grid of rural roads and agricultural plots. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the prominent rise of Brushy Mountain, whose shadowed slopes contrast sharply with the flat alluvial plains of the river valley. This 1972 survey offers a precise photographic record of the region's land use, showing the balance between city expansion and the natural contours of the river basin.
