About this map

Washita River meanders through the southwestern corner of this Grady County landscape, where the agricultural patterns of central Oklahoma are clearly defined by the survey lines of the 1960s. The small community of Tabler serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller named settlements including Lucille, Naples, and Middleberg. The transportation network reveals a transition in mobility, with the modern H.E. Bailey Toll Road (Turnpike) cutting across the northwestern section while an Old Railroad Grade remains visible as a vestige of an earlier rail-dependent economy.

Drainage is dominated by the intricate network of Bitter Creek, East Bitter Creek, and Spring Creek, which carve through the terrain. The inclusion of unique identifiers like the Gravel Pit and the specific locations of Amber and Vincent provides a clear view of local industry and settlement distribution during this mid-century period. Fine dashed lines even indicate selected fence and field lines, offering a granular look at rural land use.
