About this map

Hollister and Loveland anchor this agricultural landscape in Tillman County, where the plains are etched by the meandering courses of Deep Red Creek and Little Deep Red Creek. The layout of the region is defined by the diagonal transit of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad, which historically linked these prairie communities. This 1970s survey captures a transition in land use, showing several Fish Farm operations and Gravel Pits interspersed with traditional cattle and farming boundaries.

Genealogists will find critical local landmarks such as Hollister Cem, Loveland Cem, and Isadore Cem, providing specific geographic points for family research. The map also details early environmental infrastructure, including Sewage Disposal Ponds and the smaller drainage of Horse Cr, offering a clear view of the rural infrastructure supporting these Oklahoma settlements during the mid-20th century.
