1963 Map of Nebo

About this map

The Washita River snakes through this southern Oklahoma landscape, defining the topography where Carter, Murray, and Johnston counties converge. In the early 1960s, the rural character of the region is centered around small communities like Nebo and Baum, which remain hubs for local life and education at the Nebo Sch. The map reveals a land utilized for both agriculture and industry, marked by numerous Gravel Pits and a Quarry dotting the terrain. Transportation and infrastructure are highlighted by the Ardmore Municipal Airport in the west and a secluded Landing Strip further east. For genealogists, the map is a vital resource, preserving the locations of family and community resting places such as Young Cem, Hutchins Cem, and Lone Cedar Cem, often situated near winding tributaries like Denmark Creek and Oil Creek.
