About this map

The Washita River carves a winding path through the heart of the southern Oklahoma plains in the mid-1960s, defining the boundaries between Grady, Garvin, and McClain counties. This landscape is one of agricultural industry and energy infrastructure, marked by a Refinery and a network of pipelines that traverse the hilly terrain. Near the settlement of Bradley, evidence of changing transportation remains in the form of an Old Railroad Grade, which once connected this rural corridor to larger markets.

Smaller watercourses like Sandy Creek and Colbert Creek feed into the river valley, where land use is divided between wooded areas and cleared fields. Local history is anchored by essential community features, including a Cem and a Hospital, while landmarks such as a Radio Tower and Water Tank rise above the horizon. The map details the transition from the river bottomlands to the surrounding uplands across several townships.
