About this map

The city of Ardmore serves as the focal point for this mid-1960s study, displaying a dense urban grid that transitions into the rolling creek bottoms of southern Oklahoma. Educational landmarks like Will Rogers Sch and Washington Sch anchor the neighborhood developments, while the municipal infrastructure includes a Sewage Disposal facility and a Radio Tower. To the east, the landscape opens into the rural townships of Morgan and Wilson, where family life centered around rural institutions like Springdale Ch and Niblack Chapel.

Industrial and transport corridors are clearly defined by the St Louis San Francisco and Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroads, which facilitated the movement of goods through the region. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the northern reaches of Lake Murray State Park, featuring the Lake Murray State Airpark and Roberts Landing Strip. Numerous Gravel Pits are scattered across the terrain, particularly near Dripping Springs, indicating the localized extraction activities common to the era.
