1964 Map of Springer

About this map

Springer sits at the eastern edge of this mid-1960s landscape in Carter County, Oklahoma, positioned where the flat lands meet the dramatic southern slopes of the Arbuckle Mountains. The terrain is defined by the sharp transition from agricultural plains to the distinctive limestone ridges and canyons that characterize this geological region. To the northwest, Henry House Creek flows through the folds of the mountains, culminating at Henry House Falls. The map documents the rural infrastructure of the era, showing the established road networks and scattered homesites that supported the local community. The presence of these specific water features and the proximity to the Arbuckles highlights a landscape shaped by both the rugged geology of the Uplift and the steady growth of small Oklahoma settlements.
