1986 Map of Bethany
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
The Lake Overholser reservoir and the sprawling Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge along the North Canadian River anchor the landscape of this mid-1980s suburban Oklahoma study. This edition captures the rapid expansion of Oklahoma City as it surrounds independent municipalities like Bethany, Warr Acres, and the eastern edge of Yukon. The area is a hub for education and regional transit, featuring Bethany College, the Francis Tuttle Voc-Tech Sch, and the busy Wiley Post Airport. Institutional landmarks such as the St Francis DeSales Seminary and several large memorial parks, including Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens Cem, suggest a maturing community infrastructure. Commercial and residential growth is tightly tied to the Northwest Expressway and the Oklahoma-Kansas-Texas railroad line, while pockets of oil production remain visible in the active Gas Field and scattered oil wells across the terrain.
