1964 Map of Overbrook

About this map

Criner Hills dominate the central landscape of this mid-1960s survey, a rugged terrain where oil wells and gravel pits meet traditional rural settlements. The corridor along the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad serves as the primary artery for the eastern portion of the map, notably near Overbrook, which sits just west of the Lake Murray State Park Bdy. The rural character of the area is anchored by community landmarks such as Crinnerville Ch and the McAlester Cem. The drainage patterns of Hickory Creek and its tributaries, including Spring Branch and Little Hickory Creek, illustrate the natural topography of Love and Carter Counties. Significant infrastructure development is evident along the eastern edge, with a major roadway marked as under construction during the field check, signaling a period of transition as the region modernized its transportation network.
