1983 Map of Dill City

About this map

Burns Flat and Dill City anchor this Washita County landscape during the early 1980s, a period characterized by a mix of aviation infrastructure and rural agricultural life. The sprawling Clinton-Sherman Airport dominates the northern section, including an adjacent U S Military Reservation and a dedicated Industrial Park. This concentration of infrastructure in the north contrasts with the southern half of the quadrangle, where the Atchison Topeka and Sante Fe railroad line cuts through the countryside toward Dill City. Local history is preserved in a series of family and community cemeteries, such as Novis Cem, Boggy Cem, and both North Burns Cem and South Burns Cem. Educational and recreational hubs like the Western Oklahoma Vo-Tech Sch and Adams Lake City Park reflect the community development in this part of Oklahoma.
