1956 Map of Taupa

About this map

Comanche County landscape at the edge of the Fort Sill Military Reservation is defined by a network of north-south drainage systems, including Blue Beaver Creek and Pecan Creek. The map documents small community anchors like the Deyo Memorial Chapel and the nearby Deyo Cemetery, which alongside Wesley Chapel and Pecan Cemetery, offer vital points of reference for genealogists tracing early families in this portion of Oklahoma. The agricultural and residential character of the era is punctuated by the presence of Huscher Field and the St Louis San Francisco railroad line, which skirts the northeastern corner near the settlement of Taupa. Significant infrastructure is marked along the Base Line road, while the Sunset Memorial Garden Cemetery sits near the northern boundary, providing a detailed record of local land use and community centers during the mid-twentieth century.
