1956 Map of Letitia

About this map

Beaver Creek carves a winding path through this corner of Oklahoma, where the boundaries of Comanche, Cotton, and Stephens counties converge. Recorded in the mid-1950s, the landscape reveals a distribution of rural social centers including the Pleasant Valley Community House and several local schools such as Ash Grove School and Messing School. The settlement at Letitia is accompanied by a nearby Cem, providing a valuable reference for family history researchers tracing early residents in this agricultural district. Small-scale industrial activity is evident in the northern sections, where oil wells and slush tanks appear alongside the drainage of Armstrong Creek. From the crossroads at Pumpkin Center to the southern reach of Hulen, the map captures a rural community structured by established section lines and the vital watercourse of the creek system.
