1956 Map of Rocky Ford

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Washita River and Little Washita River dominate the landscape of this mid-century survey where the borders of Caddo, Grady, and Comanche Counties converge. The settlement of Rocky Ford sits near the river bend, surrounded by a terrain organized into distinct sections like South Cement, Grove, and Cedar. This 1950s documentation shows a rural economy defined by scattered homesteads and the emerging extraction industry, evidenced by a lone oil well in the eastern hills. Local community life is anchored by the Cedar Grove Church and the Ridley Cemetery, located along a network of unimproved and light-duty roads. Numerous drainage features such as Cottonwood Creek, Charlie Creek, and McCarthy Creek illustrate the complex hydrology of this part of Oklahoma, providing a detailed look at the land before later development.
