1966 Map of Arcadia

About this map

Arcadia stands at the center of this Oklahoma County landscape, where the Missouri - Kansas - Texas railroad follows the valley of the Deep Fork river. The mid-1960s terrain reflects a mix of small-scale agriculture and active energy extraction, notably within the Coon Creek Gas and Oil Field and the NW Coon Creek Gas and Oil Field to the north. Transportation infrastructure is a prominent feature, with the Turnpike and a Toll Road cutting through the southern sections near the municipal expansions of Oklahoma City and Edmond. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Donnell Cem, Spigner Cem, and the Edmond Gower Cem. The presence of the Fish Hatchery and the residential area around Lake Hiwassee indicates the varied use of the region's water resources beyond the natural flow of Coffee Creek and Soldier Creek.
