1964 Map of Overbrook

About this map

Criner Hills and the winding course of Hickory Creek dominate this mid-1960s landscape along the border of Carter and Love counties. The settlement of Overbrook sits as a primary transit point along the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad, which runs parallel to a major highway corridor under construction at the time of the survey. The map captures a rural economy defined by resource extraction and scattered homesteads, evidenced by numerous Gravel Pits and the Morgan Field oil area. For family historians, the sheet preserves the locations of several community focal points, including McAlester Ch, Pleasant Hill Ch, and the Criner Cem. Smaller hamlets like Marsden, Brock, and Greenville are clearly delineated, showing the distribution of residents across the varied terrain of the Arbuckle Mountains' southern foothills.
