POW Camp In Oklahoma - Camp Gruber

Roddy Riggs (riggs.chief2@gmail.com) says, "My name is Roddy Riggs. I grew up near the small community of Braggs, Oklahoma, which is adjacent to Camp Gruber. The camp had a large POW area which housed about 4,500 prisoners.

"I am researching the history of Camp Gruber and have been trying to find maps and/or aerial photos of Camp Gruber and the POW facility nearby. Would anyone possibly know where I could find such maps or photos? I know they exist.

"I got some information from the National Archives about Camp Gruber and they even sent some 8x10 pictures (none of them the POW Camp). The problem is that they have turned all of their records, (i.e., papers, maps, pictures, etc. over to private contractors, who charge a fortune for any copies). I would greatly appreciate any assistance you could give me in this matter. Thank you."
