1975 Map of Rush Springs SW

About this map

Rush Springs serves as the focal point of this 1970s orthophotoquad, which uses aerial imagery to reveal the agricultural and residential patterns of this portion of Grady County. The town site is clearly visible in the southern portion of the sheet, defined by its organized street grid and surrounding farm lots. This specific type of survey provides a literal look at the landscape as it appeared in mid-February 1975, capturing the texture of the fields, wooded creek beds, and rural road networks before modern development. Because it is an orthophotograph rather than a traditional line-and-symbol map, it offers unique value for researchers looking to identify specific building locations, farmstead layouts, and land use that standard topographic maps might generalize.
