1975 Map of Marlow SW

About this map

The northern reaches of Duncan dominate the southern portion of this 1975 aerial orthophotoquad, showing the city's residential and industrial footprint before late-century expansion. The landscape transitions from urban grid patterns into a series of agricultural plots and pastureland defined by the winding course of Wildhorse Creek. This rare visual record captures the precise state of the land surface at a time when the Lake Humphreys reservoir was well-established as a primary feature of the local topography. By using direct photoimagery rather than traditional topographic lines, the map reveals the specific textures of the Oklahoma plains, including tree lines, field boundaries, and the evolving infrastructure around the city limits.
