1956 Map of Nellie

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Sterling and its surrounding rural townships sit at the intersection of Comanche, Grady, and Stephens counties in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the branching waters of Beaver Creek and Little Beaver Creek, which drain a region transitionally shaped by both agriculture and petroleum extraction. Small rural hubs like Nellie, Hulen, and Oil City serve as the primary anchors for the community, which is otherwise organized around a dense network of local schools and community centers. Educational landmarks such as Central High School, Denton School, and Manning School are interspersed with religious and social gathering points like Woodlawn Church and the Hadley Grove Community House. The presence of numerous Oil wells and the Field label indicate the ongoing industrial significance of the area, while established sites like Denton Cemetery and Rock Creek Cemetery provide essential points of reference for genealogical research into the families of these Oklahoma plains.
