1964 Map of Springer

About this map

The Arbuckle Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Carter County quadrangle, where the Indian Meridian marks a fundamental surveying line for Oklahoma history. The village of Springer serves as the primary settlement hub, situated just east of an extensive network of waterways including Henry House Creek, Grindstone Creek, and Caddo Creek. This mid-century survey reveals a rural landscape transitioning into the modern era, evidenced by the presence of a Drag Strip near the town center and scattered Oil Well sites. The varied terrain shifts from the dramatic elevations near Henry House Falls in the north to the more level reaches of Akers and Berwyn in the south, illustrating the geological diversity of the region before further residential and industrial expansion.
