1969 Map of Mutual SW

About this map

The Oklahoma high plains in Dewey County come into focus through the drainage patterns of Kizer Creek and its many tributaries. This 1969 field check reveals a landscape transitioning between traditional ranching and a growing petroleum economy, evidenced by several Oil Well sites dotting the terrain. The social geography of the era is anchored by small rural centers such as the Cane Creek Ch and the Bloomfield Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogists tracing early families in the Cleveland and Haddon townships.
