1972 Map of Perry

About this map

Perry serves as a major rail hub in north-central Oklahoma, where the St Louis - San Francisco and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe lines intersect. This 1970s landscape shows the city's civic core anchored by the Courthouse and Armory, while the Cherokee Strip Museum preserves the area's pioneer heritage. Beyond the corporate boundary, the terrain is defined by the Oakdale Valley and Warren Valley, with drainage provided by Black Bear Creek and Cow Creek. The presence of numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells throughout the township reflects the region's energy-based economy, while local landmarks like the Lutheran Sch and Mt Carmel Cem provide critical points of reference for genealogists. Water resources like Perry Lake and Wills Lake offer a counterpoint to the industrial Sewage Disposal Ponds and various Gravel Pits dotting the countryside.
