About this map

The town of Lone Grove sits at the heart of this late-1960s landscape, positioned along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. This era captures a region shaped by extractive industry and agriculture, most notably evidenced by the extensive Oil Field spanning the southwest quadrant. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways including Cottonwood Creek, Walnut Bayou, and the uniquely named Demijohn Bayou, which flow through the Hewitt and Lone Grove districts.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by features such as the Lone Grove Cem, the Keller Cem near the northern boundary, and the Blue Ribbon Church. Infrastructure development is visible in the highway marked as under construction during the survey period, signaling a transition toward increased regional connectivity. Small-scale industrial sites, including a Gravel Pit, a Pumping Station, and a Substation, further illustrate the local economy of Carter County during this period.
