1965 Map of Dibble

About this map

Middleberg and Dibble anchor this mid-1960s landscape along the border of McClain and Grady Counties, a region shaped by agricultural drainage and petroleum development. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways including Walnut Creek, Buffalo Creek, and the diverging branches of West Winter Creek and East Winter Creek. These creeks cut through a landscape dotted with numerous Gravel Pit locations and the significant North Dibble Oil Field, illustrating the area's mid-century extractive industries. Rural life is centered around local institutions such as Central Church and Dibble Church, while the presence of a Railroad Grade in the northwest suggests the evolution of transportation infrastructure. Family history researchers will find value in the clearly marked Hale Cemetery and Naples Cemetery, which provide important spatial context for local genealogies during this era of Oklahoma's history.
