1981 Map of East Ninnekah

About this map

The Little Washita River winds through central Oklahoma, carving a path between the Ninnekah Hills and the Chandler Hills. This landscape is defined by the legacy of early land divisions, clearly marked by the Indian Territory Oklahoma Boundary that persists in the 1980s landscape. Small settlements like Norge and Agawam sit along the periphery, while East Ninnekah serves as a more central hub. The region's mid-century development is visible in infrastructure like the Stidham Landing Strip and the Drive-in Theater, alongside older industrial markers such as scattered Oil Wells. Modern transportation corridors, including the H E Bailey Toll Road and the Burlington Northern railroad, overlay the older river-and-creek drainage system including Rock Creek and Boggy Creek. This survey captures the transition from a purely agricultural and oil-producing territory to one integrated into the state's modern highway network.
