1969 Map of Lone Grove

About this map

Lone Grove serves as the central hub of this late-1960s survey, situated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. The landscape reflects a mix of traditional agriculture and industrial development, dominated by an extensive Oil Field and supporting infrastructure like the Pumping Station and several Gravel Pits. Water resources are abundant throughout the quadrangle, with Walnut Bayou and Demijohn Creek carving through the southern terrain, while Cottonwood Creek and Red Branch drain the north. Local history is anchored by long-standing community landmarks, including the Blue Ribbon Ch, Lone Grove Cem, and Keller Cem. The map captures a moment of infrastructure growth, evidenced by a major highway noted as being under construction just west of the primary settlement, suggesting the area's increasing connectivity within Carter County.
