1973 Map of Slick

About this map

The town of Slick and the surrounding Creek County landscape in the early 1970s are defined by a complex network of energy infrastructure and rural tradition. Extensive Oil Fields and a web of pipelines dominate the terrain, reflecting the region's industrial backbone alongside meandering waterways like Little Deep Fork Creek. The map documents a transition in transportation, showing both the modern Turner Toll Road and remnants of the past, such as the Old Railroad Grade and the St Louis-San Francisco line. For the genealogist and local historian, several community hubs are preserved here, including the Choska Church, Land Mark Ch, and Falls Cem. The settlement at Tabor and various unnamed cemeteries provide specific points of interest for tracing family sites within the townships of Bristow and Euchee.
