1965 Map of Paoli

About this map

The Washita River carves a winding path through the center of this Garvin County landscape, defining the topography between Paoli and the settlement of Whitebead. During the mid-1960s, the region was characterized by a heavy industrial presence, notably the West Pauls Valley Oil Field and the Pauls Valley Oil Field, which are marked by numerous wells and service roads. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad serves as a primary transit corridor, running southeast alongside the river valley and passing near Gagine Sta. Genealogists will find significant local history at the Florence Cem and Whitebead Cem, while the presence of Gravel Pits and a Radio Tower further illustrate the mid-century development of this rural Oklahoma territory.
