1976 Map of Butler SE

About this map

Agricultural patterns and riparian corridors define this 1976 orthophotoquad of Custer County. The Washita River snakes across the southern portion of the landscape, providing a vital water source for the surrounding rural holdings. This aerial perspective, captured in the mid-1970s, reveals the intersection of natural drainage and human settlement near Stafford and Ralph. The land is deeply etched by the winding paths of West Barnitz Creek and East Barnitz Creek, which converge amidst a patchwork of terraced fields and pastures. The imagery serves as a clear record of Oklahoma land use before further modern consolidation, showing the precise relationship between local topography and the placement of rural residences and infrastructure.
