1967 Map of Pharoah

About this map

Henryetta Oil and Gas Field and the Lincoln Field dominate the landscape of this region during the mid-1960s, a period when petroleum extraction defined the local economy and geography. The survey captures the industrial footprint of north-central Oklahoma, documenting numerous oil wells and extensive energy infrastructure alongside the emerging Indian Nation Turnpike. To the east, the city of Henryetta serves as a major hub, supported by the Henryetta Municipal Airport and the intersection of the St Louis San Francisco and Kansas Oklahoma and Gulf railroads. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including several family and community burial grounds such as Renkie Cem, Barnet-Fisher Cem, and Creek Mine Cem. The presence of Arbeka Ch and Aztec Ch alongside smaller settlements like Pharoah and Bryant provides a clear view of the rural communities established within the Oklahoma oil patch.
