1975 Map of Rush Springs NW

About this map

Ninnekah sits at the heart of this mid-1970s orthophotograph, where the agricultural patterns of Grady County are captured in striking detail. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Washita River, which snakes through the central and western portions of the quadrangle. This 1975 aerial survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a unique photographic record of land use and drainage patterns before modern digital mapping. The intersection of local rural life and regional transit is visible where the H E Bailey Turnpike cuts across the northwestern corner, contrasting the ancient meanders of the river with the straight lines of modern infrastructure. For those researching local property lines or environmental changes in central Oklahoma, these specific aerial views offer an exact visual baseline of the terrain as it existed during this era.
