1971 Map of Okmulgee North

About this map

The city of Okmulgee dominates the southern reaches of this survey, shown at a time of significant educational and industrial activity. The campus of Oklahoma State Tech is clearly defined near the city center, while the St Louis and San Francisco railroad lines and a refinery underscore the local economy of the early 1970s. The landscape north of the city is a patchwork of rural homesteads and spiritual hubs, including the Natura Mission and several historically significant churches like Tallahassee Ch and New Town Ch. Numerous oil wells dot the terrain of Hamilton and Natura, revealing the extensive petroleum infrastructure threading through the Oklahoma countryside. Smaller communities such as Preston and Beggs appear along the rail corridors, flanked by landmarks like Jerusalem Cem and the waters of Snake Creek.
