About this map

The Washita River snakes through this 1960s landscape, defining the topography of the Bradley area. This period is marked by an extensive industrial footprint, where the town is surrounded by the Northeast Bradley Oil Field, Northwest Bradley Oil Field, and the significant Golden Trend Oil Field. The presence of numerous oil wells and a Gravel Pit indicates a heavy reliance on natural resource extraction during this era.

Beyond the industrial activity, the map preserves local genealogical markers such as the Laflin Cem near Laflin Creek. The terrain is further divided by the county line separating Grady and McClain, while local waterways like Roaring Creek, Colbert Creek, and Bitter Creek feed into the river valley. The settlement pattern remains concentrated around the established road networks, including Highway 76, providing a clear view of the rural infrastructure before modern expansion.
