1958 Map of Ada

About this map

The Canadian River flows along the northern edge of this territory, forming the boundary between Pontotoc and Seminole counties. The city of Ada serves as the regional hub, showing a dense concentration of civic and educational infrastructure including East Central University, St Joseph Sch, and several neighborhood campuses like Willard Sch and Washington Sch. Industrial and resource-gathering sites are scattered across the landscape, from the Gravel Pits north of town to the Power Plant and Ada Municipal Airport. Local history is deeply embedded in the land, marked by numerous burial grounds such as the Old Ada Cem, Rosedale Cemetery, and the more remote Egypt Cem to the northwest. To the southeast, Wintersmith Park and Clear Boggy Creek define the city's recreational and natural limits, while small outlying communities like Latta and Grayson anchor the surrounding rural areas.
