1976 Map of Butler NE

About this map

East Barnitz Creek and West Barnitz Creek dominate the landscape of this Custer County area in the mid-1970s. This advance orthophoto print provides a raw, unedited view of Oklahoma's agricultural patterns, revealing the intricate patchwork of cultivated fields and drainage basins. Unlike traditional line maps, this imagery captures the physical reality of the terrain, showing the vegetation density and erosion patterns along the watercourses. The lack of named settlements or infrastructure on this specific sheet highlights a period of quiet rural utility, where the land is defined primarily by its watershed and the rhythmic spacing of farmstead clearings.
