1981 Map of Alex

About this map

The Washita River and its major tributary, the Little Washita River, dominate this central Oklahoma landscape near the beginning of the 1980s. The settlement of Alex serves as a local hub, situated at the intersection of several roads and adjacent to the river bottomlands. Further north and west, the smaller communities of Lucile and Naples are mapped alongside rural landmarks like Hawkins Ch. Evidence of the area's changing infrastructure is visible in the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the northern sections, while the presence of several Oil Wells and a Sewage Disp Ponds facility reflect the modern utility and industrial footprint of the era. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of Ireton Cem and the Alex Cem positioned on the outskirts of their respective townships.
