1967 Map of Pharoah

About this map

The Oklahoma oil and gas landscape of the late 1960s dominates this area west of Henryetta, where industrial development meets rural Okmulgee and Okfuskee Counties. Local economy and infrastructure are defined by the St Louis San Francisco railroad and the extensive Oil and Gas Field operations that dot the terrain. The map reveals a high concentration of family and community history through numerous burial grounds like West Lawn Cemetery, Likowski Cem, and Creek Mine Cem, the latter reflecting the area's mining heritage. Small centers of community life appear at Pharoah and Bryant, supported by local institutions like Arbeka Ch. Aviation interests are represented by the Henryetta Municipal Airport and a secondary Landing Strip, while the era's social culture is captured by the presence of a Drive-in Theater near the eastern edge.
