1971 Map of Madge

About this map

Madge and Carl define the rural landscape of southwestern Oklahoma in the early 1970s. This survey records a transition from the agricultural plateaus of Francis into the dissected drainages of Grape Creek and Horse Creek. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the Independence Cem and a Gaging Station along the Oklahoma and Texas state line, where the topography shifts toward Dixon Hollow. The map provides a detailed view of the regional boundary between Collingsworth and Harmon counties, illustrating how section lines and farm access roads follow the natural contours of the Bear Creek and Jester Creek watersheds.
