1963 Map of Nebo

About this map

The Washita River carves a dramatic path through this section of south-central Oklahoma, marking the transition from the river valley to the more varied topography of the Morgan and Berwyn districts. Small rural centers like Nebo and Baum anchor the landscape, which is dotted with numerous industrial Gravel Pits and a Quarry, reflecting the local extractive economy. The presence of the Nebo Sch and several family or community burial grounds, including Young Cem, Hutchins Cem, and Lone Cedar Cem, provide essential data points for those tracing early 20th-century family history. Transportation is a mix of traditional water crossings and aviation, featuring the Ardmore Municipal Airport and a secondary Landing Strip further east. Waterways such as Oil Creek, Denmark Creek, and Sycamore Cr define the drainage patterns across the Carter, Murray, and Johnston county lines.
