1963 Map of Sageeyah

About this map

The Verdigris River and its confluence with the Caney River dominate this 1960s landscape in Rogers County, shortly before regional water management projects further altered the river valley. The western edge of Claremore shows the early presence of the Oklahoma Military Academy and the local Fairground, marking the city's growth along the St Louis-San Francisco and Missouri Pacific railroad lines. To the west, the village of Keetonville sits near a prominent ridge, while the settlement of Sageeyah anchors the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The map reveals a diversified local economy where agricultural land sits adjacent to active Oil Wells, an Oil Field in Hickory Hollow, and numerous Gravel Pits. Local social life is indexed by rural institutions such as Lone Elm Ch, Lone Elm Sch, and the Chambers Cem.
