1975 Map of Marlow SE

About this map

Chisholm Trail Lake serves as a prominent landmark in this section of Stephens County, reflecting the region's historical connection to the legendary cattle driving route that once crossed the Oklahoma territory. This orthophotoquad, derived from 1975 aerial photography, provides a rare visual record of the landscape's agricultural character and hydrological features during the mid-1970s. The meandering course of Wildhorse Creek cuts through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have shaped local ranching and farming practices for generations. The aerial perspective captures the distinct patchwork of field boundaries and drainage basins, offering researchers a literal view of the land as it appeared before decades of modern development and changing land-use patterns altered the rural Oklahoma countryside.
