1971 Map of Scipio

About this map

Scipio and Ulan sit at the center of this rural Oklahoma landscape as it appeared in the early 1970s. The topography is defined by the winding course of Scipio Creek and the open expanse of Tannehill Prairie to the southeast. This survey, conducted in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, provides a clear view of the area's social infrastructure through several community hubs. Local history and genealogy researchers will find multiple burial sites, including Ulan Cem, Hughlow Cem, and Lone Grove Cem, often situated near rural centers like Lone Grove Ch. The presence of a Gas Well and Drill Hole reflects the underlying energy activity of the region, while the Indian Nation Turnpike cuts a modern path through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, signaling the era's evolving transportation network.
