About this map

East Cache Creek meanders through the heart of this Southern Oklahoma landscape, defining the topography of the Crosby, Hulen, and Strauss regions. The settlement of Geronimo sits in the northwest, while rural life is anchored by landmarks like New Salem Ch and Allendale Cem. The presence of numerous Oil Wells and Oil Well sites across the eastern half of the map illustrates the local dependence on the petroleum industry during the late twentieth century. In the south, Sultan Park and the edges of Dave Boyer Lake provide recreational contrast to the industrial footprint of the Gravel Pits found near the Comanche and Cotton county line. This survey captures a specific moment in the evolution of the regional road and energy network, including the path of the Oklahoma Snake Kansas and Texas route.
