1966 Map of Chickasha NE

About this map

West Bitter Creek and Brushy Creek dominate the drainage patterns of this Grady County landscape during the mid-1960s. The map captures a moment of transition for Oklahoma's transportation infrastructure, notably featuring the H E Bailey Toll Road Turnpike slicing diagonally across the terrain. This modern thoroughfare contrasts with the established line of the St Louis San Francisco railroad, which runs north-south through the western portion of the sheet. Small local landmarks like the Amber Sch and the settlement of Sooner provide crucial points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracing mid-century property and community boundaries. The presence of several pipelines and a Gravel Pit indicates the ongoing industrial and resource extraction activities that supported the local economy during this era.
