1967 Map of Okemah

About this map

Okemah serves as the central hub in this mid-century Oklahoma landscape, defined by an extensive patchwork of energy production and traditional infrastructure. The town itself is densely mapped with essential civic landmarks including the Courthouse, Hospital, and Lincoln Sch. Beyond the residential blocks, the surrounding countryside is dominated by vast oil and gas operations, such as the Northwest Okemah Oil and Gas Field and Midwest Oil and Gas Field. These energy-rich zones are interspersed with local history markers, including several rural burying grounds like Ebenezer Cem and Green Leaf Ch Cem. Transport and industry are further marked by an Old Railroad Grade and the Okemah Airport situated near Airport Lake. The southern boundary is established by the winding course of the North Canadian River near Hickory Ridge, illustrating the relationship between the region's natural waterways and its industrial development.
