About this map

Okeene serves as the focal point of this 1970s landscape, situated at the junction of significant rail corridors including the St Louis - San Francisco, the Chicago and North Western, and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific. This concentration of infrastructure highlights the town's role as a regional hub for the surrounding agricultural townships of Homestead, Flynn, and Seay. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Spring Creek and Salt Creek, which drain toward the Cimarron river.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on this sheet, including Roselawn Cem, Ebenfeld Cem, Tulles Cem, and Peaceful Cem. The landscape is further marked by the presence of numerous gas wells, indicating the energy development that characterized the era. Other local landmarks include the Okeene Municipal Airport and a central Golf Course, reflecting the established community life of the period.
