1958 Map of Ada

About this map

The growing city of Ada serves as the central hub of this Pontotoc County landscape, appearing here at a time of significant expansion during the late 1950s. The urban core shows a dense street grid that transitions into the outlying settlements of Byng to the northeast and Hird to the east. The northern border of the map is defined by the winding course of the Canadian River, which separates this region from the adjacent tribal lands. The area's hydrology is further characterized by the drainage of Little Sandy Creek, which cuts through the rolling terrain toward the river. This survey captures the mid-century infrastructure of the region, including the local road networks connecting small communities like Grayson to the primary industrial and educational centers in the city center.
