About this map

Vincent and Middleberg sit along the high ground of central Grady County during the mid-1960s, a period when the local landscape was undergoing significant infrastructure modernization. The introduction of the H E Bailey Toll Road cutting across the northwest corner contrasts with the older transportation patterns of the region, specifically the Old Railroad Grade that once connected these rural communities.

Further south, the Washita River meanders through the terrain near Lucille and Naples, where the drainage system is defined by the branching arms of Bitter Creek and its eastern and western tributaries. This map documents a transition in Oklahoma’s rural economy, noting numerous Gravel Pits and gravel Pits scattered near the watercourses, indicating active local resource extraction alongside the established agricultural settlements of Amber and Tabler.
