1971 Map of Welch South

About this map

Bluejacket and the southern edge of Welch anchor this northern Oklahoma landscape, defined by the prominent route of the Missouri - Kansas - Texas railroad. The line runs north-to-south through the center of the sheet, paralleling the winding course of Little Cabin Creek. This corridor served as a vital artery for the region's agricultural economy in the early 1970s, connecting small rail-side communities. To the west, Timber Hill provides a distinct topographic rise above the surrounding plains, while the local geography is further carved by numerous tributaries including Whisky Br, Crow Creek, and Wolf Creek. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the Bluejacket Cem south of its namesake town, alongside evidence of community infrastructure like the local Park and Sewage Disposal facility near Welch.
