1972 Map of Kingfisher

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices vertically through this landscape, marking a historical division of land in Central Oklahoma. The city of Kingfisher serves as the regional hub, defined by its civic and educational center featuring the Courthouse, Washington Sch, and SS Peter & Paul Sch. Transportation and industry dominate the terrain, from the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad bisecting the town to the extensive Kingfisher Gas Field that spreads across the prairie. The map captures an era of infrastructure development with the Kingfisher Airport to the north and a network of gravel pits and pumping stations supporting the local economy. Waterways like Kingfisher Creek and Uncle Johns Creek meander through the plains, while the presence of an Old Railroad Grade hints at the shifting rail networks of earlier decades.
