1968 Map of Hillsdale

About this map

Hillsdale serves as the primary settlement on this North Central Oklahoma landscape, situated at a junction where the Atchison Topeka And Santa Fe railway cuts through the plains of Garfield County. The town is flanked by a local Reservoir and the Hillsdale Cem, while the surrounding terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Sand Creek, Ninemile Creek, and Wild Horse Creek. A notable topographical feature is Ninemile Canyon, which provides a break in the otherwise steady agricultural grid of the Keowee and Banner townships. Evidence of mid-century infrastructure and industrial development is visible through a remote Landing Strip in the east and a Radio Tower to the south, alongside an identified Oil Well near the border of North Enid. Purple photo-revisions from the early 1980s document changes in fence lines and field boundaries over several decades of rural land use.
