This is/was farm country, and much, much less populated in 1966.

Actually that might not be true. Was thinking about were I grew up in Oklahoma earlier from something completely unrelated. When I was a kid there were several houses on the mile section we lived on. Now the only one left is our 'new' one that we build in the 60's. As the family farms have went away to large farming operations and the amount of workers decreased by automation there are far fewer people in a lot of farm country. That's a contributing factor to why so many of the small towns are disappearing also. Enough before I get off on long winded economic dissertation.
