Oklahoma Maps
Maps, Atlases & Gazetteers - Maps are an invaluable part of family history research, especially if you live far from where your ancestor lived. Because political boundaries often changed, historic maps are critical in helping you discover the precise location of your ancestor's hometown, what land they owned, who their neighbors were, and more.
The Oklahoma Highway Department has prepared a series of county road maps. These maps contain more detailed information about man-made features than the geological survey maps. In addition to roads and boundaries, these maps include rural communities, churches, and cemeteries.
To View the Oklahoma Map: Just click the Image to view the map online. In order to make the Image size as small as possible they were save on the lowest resolution. If you order an image they are printed at the highest resolution. (Images are between 500k and 1.5 meg so loading may be slow if using a dial-up connection). PLEASE READ!! These maps are downloadable and are in PDF format. The main use of these are the locations of all known cemeteries in a county and of course the various roads and church locations. These Oklahoma Maps are Free to Download
Maps are an excellent source for beginning your research, because they provide much useful information at a glance. Many historic maps show individual buildings and are especially useful because they also record owners' names and features in the surrounding community. More detailed maps reveal property acreage and estate names. By examining a series of maps, you will be able to date changes in your property over time.
Maps are particularly important in identifying the previous jurisdictions of the two territories that preceded present-day Oklahoma. The University of Oklahoma Library’s Manuscripts Division (see Archives, Libraries, and Societies) and the Oklahoma State University Library at Stillwater, Oklahoma, maintain excellent collections for the state and its earlier territories. A Guide to Cartographic Records in the National Archives (Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Service, 1971) indicates availability of General Land Office (GLO) maps, which are particularly helpful for Oklahoma Territory.
County maps may be purchased from the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, Reproduction Branch, 200 N.E. 21st St., Oklahoma City, OK 73105-3204. Fees are minimal.
