1975 Map of Frederick SE

About this map

The agricultural grid of Tillman County dominates this 1975 orthophoto, where the landscape is meticulously carved into geometric plots of farmland. This aerial perspective, captured by the U.S. Geological Survey using photographs from February of that year, highlights the expansive nature of the Oklahoma plains. In the northeast corner, the Frederick Municipal Airport stands as a significant local hub, its runways and structures clearly visible against the surrounding fields. The meandering path of Suttle Creek provides a natural contrast to the rigid human-made boundaries of the terrain, winding through the center-east of the sheet. For those studying land use or regional development, this view provides a precise record of the irrigation and road networks established during the mid-1970s.
