Road builders aid oil field development in Ada area
The Ada oil field south of Ada benefited from three road projects to speed drilling, with help from oil companies, Ada Chamber of Commerce, county officials and FERA. The first road began in March 1934, running from Frisco to Highway 45, aided by donations totaling 1350 and FERA labor. A later project bridged Byrd's Mill Creek and extended two miles east through Fittstown, supported by a 100 foot right of way and 14,810 hours of FERA labor, yielding an all weather route into the field.
