About this map

Marietta serves as the focal point of this late 1960s landscape, situated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor. The town's grid is clearly defined, featuring the E High Sch and multiple radio towers, while the surrounding hills of Washington township rise toward landmarks like Rea Peak and Flattop Peak. This era captures the industrial footprint of the region, marked by numerous Oil Wells, a Gas Plant, and a Refinery located near the shifting banks of Lake Texoma.

To the east and south, the terrain descends into Loves Valley, where the waters of Hickory Creek and Oil Creek meet the reservoir. Local history is preserved in the location of the Lakeview Cemetery and the smaller Love Cem, providing valuable reference points for genealogists. The network of drainages, including Shiggin Creek and Corcoran Creek, illustrates the complex hydrology that feeds into the Red River basin through the Texoma system.
