About this map

The North Fork Red River snakes across this southwestern Oklahoma landscape, carving a prominent valley between Dempsey Peak and the namesake Long Mountain. In the mid-1960s, this area at the intersection of Kiowa, Tillman, and Jackson Counties was defined by its geological features and transport corridors. The St Louis - San Francisco railroad cuts through the southern terrain, passing near the small settlement of Luce and numerous industrial Sandpits.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Headrick Cem and Rogers Cem, alongside small rural hubs like Centerville. The map also captures specialized landmarks of the era, such as the Pleasant Valley Landing Strip and a Gaging Sta along the river. Granite peaks and elevations like Cable Mountain provide a stark backdrop to the agricultural plains of Hunter, where irrigation and resource extraction through various Quarries shaped the local economy.
