1979 Map of Rock Mary

About this map

Rock Mary, a prominent sandstone landmark and historic trail marker, rises above the red soil of Caddo County in this late-1970s survey. The landscape is defined by the transition from agricultural valley floors to the high, broken ground of Mound Valley and Lone Mound. Water sources like Dead Woman Creek and Sugar Creek carve through the terrain, while the local community is anchored by the Cedar Valley Ch and the small settlement at Sickles. This era of the landscape reveals a growing energy infrastructure, evidenced by the numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells scattered across the township lines. The presence of a small Landing Strip and the crossroad at Ferns illustrate the practical transportation network serving this rural Oklahoma interior before modern developments altered the local character.
