1975 Map of Marlow NW

About this map

Marlow serves as the focal point of this 1975 orthophotoquad, showing the town's residential grid and infrastructure as it existed in the mid-1970s. The aerial imagery provides a direct look at the agricultural patterns of Grady County, where contoured fields and terraced lands dominate the rural landscape. Wildhorse Creek and its various tributaries wind through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped local land use. This specific type of survey, an orthophotoquad, offers researchers a precise visual record of field boundaries, road networks, and homestead locations that traditional line-drawn maps often simplify. It is a vital resource for understanding the physical state of the region's farms and the southern outskirts of the primary settlement during this era.
