About this map

Ardmore serves as the focal point of this Oklahoma survey, documenting the city's westward expansion toward the Criner Hills during the 1960s and 1970s. The landscape is a mix of urban development and rural pasture, defined by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line cutting through the terrain. Civic and social history is deeply embedded in the map, showing institutional landmarks like the Veterans Home, Bloomfield Academy, and Walker Stadium.

Water management is prominent in the northern sections with Lake Ardmore and City Lake, while the southern edge touches the boundary of Lake Murray State Park. This edition includes purple revisions from the mid-1970s, highlighting the growth of residential blocks around Main Ave and Broadway, as well as the placement of several local cemeteries including Rose Hill Cemetery and Hillcrest Cemetery.
