About this map

The Caddo and Grady County line divides this agricultural landscape of central Oklahoma during the late 1960s. The small settlement of Dutton and landmarks like Friendship Ch and Liberty Cem anchor the rural community, providing specific coordinates for genealogical research. The terrain is defined by the Jefferson Prairie Valley and cut by numerous waterways including Stinking Cr, Ionine Creek, and Jack Hollow Creek.

Industrial activity is evident in the southern portion of the map, specifically within the Northeast Verden Oil Field, where a Gas Well and Sandpit indicate the local extraction economy. The western edge is dominated by Lake Chickasha, an important water resource for the surrounding plains. This survey provides a precise record of the infrastructure and land use just as regional energy production was a primary driver of the local economy.
