1972 Map of Kingfisher NE

About this map

The Cimarron River winds through this central Oklahoma landscape, defining the transition between the townships of Banner and Excelsior. During the early 1970s, the region was characterized by its active Oil Field development and agricultural infrastructure. Local community centers are anchored by several rural institutions, including Booker T Washington Sch and Big Four Sch, alongside several country churches like Oak Grove Ch and Banner Ch. The map provides significant genealogical value through its many small burial grounds, such as Lincoln Cem and Bird Creek Cem. Transportation across the river is highlighted by the Gould Bridge, while the surrounding terrain is drained by numerous tributaries like Bird Creek and Turkey Creek. This survey captures the rural character of the area before modern expansion, preserving the locations of family-named landmarks and local gravel operations.
