1968 Map of Verden

About this map

Verden serves as the central hub of this 1968 landscape, situated where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad crosses the meandering Washita River. The survey illustrates a rural economy balanced between agriculture and early industrial activity, noted by the presence of Sandpits and an Oil Well in the southern reaches. The community's social fabric is anchored by landmarks such as the Mennonite Ch and Elderberry Ch, alongside a small Cem near the river's northern bends. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Spring Creek, Rock Hollow Creek, and Tony Hollow Creek, which carve through the land south of the river. A Gaging Station and Sewage Disposal facility near the town site reflect the mid-century infrastructure supporting this Grady County settlement during a period of steady growth.
