1966 Map of Chickasha

About this map

The Washita River meanders through the central landscape of Grady County, anchoring a region defined by its intersection of rail and road. The city of Chickasha serves as a major hub, its grid expanding with mid-century development and residential tracts noted during the 1975 photorevision. A dense network of local schools, including St Joseph Academy and the Oklahoma College for Liberal Arts, reflects the community’s civic priorities, while the Shannon Springs Park and Rose Hill Cemetery offer evidence of established local heritage. One of the map's most significant historical markers is the Indian Territory Boundary Line, which cuts across the western half of the quadrangle. This surveyed line serves as a reminder of the region's pre-statehood administrative history, contrasting with the modern infrastructure of the H E Bailey Toll Road Turnpike and the busy corridors of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad.
