1975 Map of Hollis NE

About this map

Gould anchors the eastern edge of this 1975 orthophoto survey, providing a rare photographic look at this Harmon County landscape. The aerial imagery reveals the intricate quilt of agricultural fields and pastureland that defines the region, where the winding path of Sandy Creek carves through the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. This advance print preserves the exact texture of the ground during the mid-1970s, showing the specific layout of homesteads and the drainage patterns of the rural plains. As an orthophotograph, this map offers a literal visual record of land use and vegetation density, making it a valuable tool for understanding the physical evolution of the Oklahoma prairie beyond what traditional topographic symbols can convey.
