1970 Map of Vici SW

About this map

The Canadian River forms the southern boundary of this landscape, where the flat upland plains break into a complex network of eroded drainages and canyons. Ranching activity in the early 1970s is centered around the Cree Ranch and a nearby Landing Strip, illustrating the reliance on small-scale aviation for managing large parcels of land in rural Oklahoma. The northern sections of the map are defined by the Parkman terrain, while the central and southern reaches are dissected by numerous seasonal waterways including Turkey Creek, Spring Canyon, and South Turkey Creek. This era of the landscape is marked by isolated rural development, with the Stone Cem serving as a primary point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in the borderlands of Ellis, Dewey, and Roger Mills counties.
