1966 Map of Arcadia

About this map

Arcadia sits at the center of this landscape, where the Missouri - Kansas - Texas railroad and Highway 66 follow the valley of the Deep Fork river. The area reflects a mid-century period of energy extraction and civic growth, evidenced by the NW Coon Creek Gas and Oil Field to the north and the expanding Edmond corporate boundaries to the west. Local genealogy is well-represented through several family and fraternal burial sites, including Donnell Cem, Spigner Cem, and the IOOF Cem. To the south, Lake Hiwassee provides a major water feature near the modern corridor of the Turner Turnpike Toll Road. The transition from agrarian land to industrial oil production is clear, with numerous Oil Wells scattered across the northern sections near Springvale.
