About this map

The agricultural landscape of southwest Oklahoma is defined here by the confluence of the Salt Fork Red River and Turkey Creek. At the heart of this 1964 survey sits Olustee, a hub for local farmers and ranchers served by the St Louis - San Francisco railroad. The map illustrates a community shaped by its water sources and infrastructure, featuring the Olustee Airfield to the south and Sewage Disposal Ponds on the eastern edge of town.

Genealogists will find value in the documentation of local burial sites, including the Olustee Cem and the more remote Aaron Cem to the northwest. The terrain reveals the region's extractive activity through a Quarry and various Gravel Pits scattered near the riverbanks. The southern boundary is marked by the Base Line, separating the northern townships from the community of Elmer at the map's edge.
