1975 Map of Hollis SE

About this map

The wide, braided channel of the Red River dominates the southwestern corner of this orthophotomap, marking the boundary where Oklahoma meets Texas in Harmon County. This mid-1970s aerial survey reveals a landscape largely defined by a grid of agricultural fields and pastureland. The meandering course of Sandy Louis Creek winds southward through the center of the sheet, its riparian vegetation appearing as darker, organic shapes against the lighter geometric patterns of the cultivated plains. The orthophoto format provides a clear visual record of the land use patterns and water management during this era, showing the relationship between the major river system and the smaller drainage of the creek as they intersect the rural landscape.
