1970 Map of Langston

About this map

Langston University serves as a central hub for this portion of the Oklahoma landscape, which underwent significant photorevision updates in the early 1980s. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Cimarron River as it snakes between Logan and Payne Counties, feeding into localized water bodies like Lake Langston. This era of the map captures a rural social structure anchored by small communal nodes, including the Oakdale Community Hall, Victory Community Hall, and Fair Valley Community Hall. The presence of the Guthrie Gas and Oil Field and scattered Oil Wells highlights the regional reliance on subsurface mineral resources. Genealogists will find a wealth of records in the numerous burial grounds such as Mt Hope Cem and Holy Family Cem, alongside rural landmarks like Centerview Ch that served the outlying farming families of Clarkson and Pleasant Valley.
