1968 Map of Pond Creek NW

About this map

The Salt Fork Arkansas River carves a wide path through this Grant County landscape, creating a distinct riparian corridor characterized by Rock Island and the meandering channels of Coldwater Creek. The settlement pattern reflects the late 1960s rural infrastructure of northern Oklahoma, anchored by the Riverdale Community Hall and the intersection at Four Corners. Small family and community landmarks are frequent, including the Friends Cem and Mt Zion Cem, providing vital geographic anchors for local genealogists. Evidence of regional transport and utility is visible at Hixon Bridge and the Biby Landing Strip near the northern border. The map also delineates the townships of Barr, Banner, and Berry, illustrating the formal land divisions that shaped the development of these prairie agricultural lands.
