1971 Map of Wetumka

About this map

Wetumka serves as the primary hub in this early 1970s landscape, situated at the intersection of the St L-S F railroad and local highways. The map reveals an area defined by its energy and aviation resources, notably the Wetumka Gas Field and Petes Airpark south of the town center. Local heritage is preserved in numerous rural landmarks, including the Wetumka Cemetery and Barnett Cem, along with several country congregations such as Lone Star Ch and Pleasant Ridge Ch. Waterways like Wewoka Creek and Greasy Creek wind through the terrain, supporting local sites like the Fish Hatchery and Brooks Lake. The presence of scattered oil wells and gravel pits among the ranch lands reflects the region's mid-century industrial footprint.
