About this map

The town of Meeker sits at a transport crossroads in Lincoln County during the mid-1970s, defined by the meeting of major roadways and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. This landscape is a patchwork of rural homesteads and agricultural allotments, with the surveying boundaries of North Wichita, North Choctaw, South Wichita, and South Choctaw reflecting the area's deep tribal history.

Community life is anchored by a network of country churches and burial grounds, including Hortons Chapel, St Paul Ch, and the Forest Cem. The terrain is drained by numerous winding waterways such as Kickapoo Creek, Wildhorse Creek, and Quapaw Creek. Industrial activity is evident in the scattered Oil Well sites and a prominent Gravel Pit near the southern boundary, while small settlements like Rossville and Jacktown mark the edges of this central Oklahoma prairie.
